The father of science fiction illustration, and the author of The
Clock of the Centuries and The Adventures of Saturnin Farandoul,
Albert Robida (1848-1926), was the most significant of all of Jules
Verne's successors. In A Student in 1950 (1917), Robida returns to
his fictional world of 1950 that he introduced in his classic The
Twentieth Century (1883) and pens an exciting "Boy's Adventure,"
featuring the teenage students of the pseudo-futuristic School of
Chambourcy, an amusing predecessor to Harry Potter's Hogwarts. In
Chalet in the Sky (1925), Robida's last novel and literary "swan
song," the author boldly steps forward into the far future when Man
has emigrated to other worlds and he depicts the travels of a
colorful cast of characters aboard their aerial villa above a bleak
and exhausted Earth.
