This is the fifth in a series of seven volumes translated and
annotated by Brian Stableford presenting the classic works of J.-H.
Rosny Aine, the second most important figure in French science
fiction after Jules Verne. Until now, Rosny, a member of the
Goncourt literary academy, has best been known to the
English-speaking public for his prehistoric thriller, Quest for
Fire. A man is found mysteriously duplicated in the trenches of
World War I. Brilliantly prefiguring the theme of cloning, The
Givreuse Enigma (1917) features the "bipartition" of a human being
into two totally similar individuals, each naturally believing
himself to be the original. Adventure in the Wild (1935) takes
place in the savage, unexplored depths of Sumatra where brave
explorers encounter the mysterious hidden race of the bestial
Carabao Men, creatures with "monstrous heads, eyes as
phosphorescent as a leopard's, canines elongated into tusks, and
hair the color of iron. -
