Dr. Caresco returns in Caresco, Superman (1904), in which the
brilliant but mad scientist rules the body-shaped island of
Eucrasia whose inhabitants have been transformed--"improved"--by a
variety of advanced surgical techniques. The natives are addicted
to sensual pleasures, subservient to the will of Caresco, whom they
call the "Superman," for fear that he will castrate them--or worse.
Andre Couvreur (1865-1944) was a medical doctor who penned several
medical treatises, and was also the author of eight romans
scientifiques dealing with "medical concepts" featuring the mad
scientists Doctor Caresco, then Professor Tornada. These are
collected in a series of five volumes, translated and annotated by
Brian Stableford, presenting for the first time the ground-breaking
works of this pioneer of French science fiction.
