written. This story dating from the eighth century, tells of a
fisherman who ventures on a trip beneath the sea to the palace of
the Dragon God. He stays for just three days, but when he returns
to his homeland he finds himself transported three hundred years
into the future... Other early science fiction tales in this
collection include: -- The Dream of Scipio by Cicero -- True
History by Lucian of Samosata -- The Ebony Horse -- The City of
Brass -- The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter -- Icaro-Menippus by Lucian
of Samosata -- Micromegas by Voltaire.
