Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. 1st Edition. The Sun and the Moon tells the delightful, entertaining, and surprisingly true story of how in the summer of 1835 a series of articles in the Sun , the first of the city's “penny papers," convinced the citizens of New York that the moon was inhabited. Six articles, purporting to reveal the lunar discoveries made by a world-famous British astronomer, described the life found on the moon including unicorns, beavers that walked upright, and, strangest of all, four-foot-tall flying man-bats. The series quickly became the most widely circulated newspaper story of the era. And the Sun , a brash working-class upstart less than two years old, had become the most widely read newspaper in the world. Condition: Boards have little to no shelf wear and square corners.

"THE SUN AND THE MOON tells the delightful, entertaining, and surprisingly true story of how in the summer of 1835 a series of articles in the Sun, the first of the city's 'penny papers,' convinced the citizens of New York that the moon was inhabited. Six articles, purporting to reveal the lunar discoveries made by a world-famous British astronomer, described the life found on the moon--including unicorns, beavers that walked upright, and, strangest of all, four-foot-tall flying man-bats. The series quickly became the most widely circulated newspaper story of the era. And the Sun, a brash working-class upstart less than two years old, had become the most widely read newspaper in the world. Told in richly novelistic detail, THE SUN AND THE MOON brings the raucous world of 1830s New York City vividly to life--the noise, the excitement, the sense that almost anything was possible. The book overflows with larger-than-life characters, including Richard Adams Locke, author of the moon series (who never intended it to be a hoax at all); a fledgling showman named P.T. Barnum, who had just brought his own hoax to New York; and the young writer Edgar Allan Poe, who was convinced that the moon series was a plagiarism of his own work. An exhilarating narrative history of a city on the cusp of greatness and a nation newly united by affordable newspapers, THE SUN AND THE MOON may just be the strangest true story you've ever read." [publisher copy] "THE SUN AND THE MOON is addictive, a mesmerizing story of a great hoax, and the old New York where it came to pass. Wonderful!"--Kevin Baker. "THE SUN AND THE MOON is flat-out fascinating--not only for its brilliant reconstruction of one of the great newspaper hoaxes of the nineteen century, but also for the Dickensian characters who populate its pages, each more outlandish and outrageous than the other. Hats off to Goodman for one of the most entertaining books about New York City in quite some time."--Edwin G. Burrows. "I doubt I will ever read another book in which newspapers, New York, and biped lunar beavers all figure prominently. Matthew has assembled his improbable cast with wit and grace."--Anne Fadiman. Pristine paperback ARC w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued.…
