Conversations on the Plurality of Worlds

Trama

Conversations on the Plurality of Worlds is a pioneering work of popular science written by Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle and first published in 1686. Set in the form of a series of engaging evening dialogues between a philosopher and a marquise, the book explores the revolutionary idea that the stars are suns, each possibly surrounded by their own worlds, and that these worlds may be inhabited by intelligent beings.
