This is the second in a series of seven volumes 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. Predating Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Rosny creates Lost Worlds
of a different kind, where variant species are the dominant races.
The Siberian valley of Nymphaeum (1893) is home to purple-skinned,
water-breathing men. The Depths Of Kyamo and The Wonderful Cave
Country (1896) are underground journeys featuring giant,
intelligent bats. The Boar Men (1929) inhabit a mysterious island.
The World of the Variants (1939) feature a parallel world which
only some privileged humans can visit.
