Hi Dmitri smiley - hug I'm sub-editing your excellent read here: A87824451 <--- don't forget to subscribe!

I've done a general tidy-up but I wanted to ask: "In the following century, Cyrano de Bergerac was inspired by Cardano to write his own science fiction work, Voyage dans la lune (1619)."

Your later link takes me to "A Voyage to the Moon" (I've changed the English reference to include the "A", so, should Voyage dans la lune become "Un Voyage dans la lune" (or "Une", I can never remember what is supposed to be male or female other than the obvious)smiley - whistle

smiley - cheers

smiley - rofl My many French instructors would laugh. I make so many mistakes.

I looked it up: it 'le voyage', so it's 'un voyage'.

But I believe hte title is merely 'voyage dans la Lune'. No article.

Could you do me a favour? That sentence looks awkward, my fault. Could you change it to 'a century later, Cyrano blah blah', rather than 'in the following century'?
