Enemy Force (1903) is a ground-breaking, surrealistic novel about a
poet who is locked in a lunatic asylum and who mysteriously becomes
possessed by an "Enemy Force," possibly an alien being from a
hellish planet orbiting the star Aldebaran. Both tragic and
satirical, emotional and visionary, it is considered by many
scholars to be a forgotten masterpiece of early science fiction.
John-Antoine Nau (1860-1918) was himself an eccentric French poet
and writer who led a marginal existence and whose works remained
mostly unpublished until long after his death. FIRST WINNER OF THE
PRESTIGIOUS LITERARY GONCOURT AWARD (1903). "The best novel] that
we ever crowned." Joris-Karl Huysmans. Michael Shreve is a writer
and translator currently living in Paris. His credits include
translations of Jacques Barberi, Andre Laurie and Marcel Schwob.
