In The Human Microbes, a man unjustly accused of a murder by an
evil mastermind manages to escape the guillotine and embarks on a
quest for revenge that will draw in its wake a cast of characters,
including mad doctors, lost children, strange gypsies, Irish
revolutionaries, Russian anarchists and Utopians. In 1883, the
notorious anarchist Louise Michel (1830-1905) was sentenced to six
years of solitary confinement; effectively deprived of
communication, she had had no refuge but writing. It is during that
time that she penned The Human Microbes (published in 1887), as a
distraction from her awful circumstances. It was followed by a
sequel, The New World, published in a truncated form in 1988, due
to Michel being shot in the head that year. Both are modeled on the
classic feuilleton serials of the 1840s and were intended to be
part of a six-novel series, in which Mankind would build a new
utopia on Earth before moving out into space.
