Often hailed as the best French science fiction writer of the early
20th century, Maurice Renard coined the term "Scientific Marvel
Fiction" to pen a series of gripping, ground-breaking stories that
owe as much to Edgar Allan Poe as they do to H.-G. Wells. Until
now, Renard was best known to the English-speaking public for his
thrice-filmed thriller, The Hands of Orlac. A Man Among the
Microbes (1908) features an "incredible shrinking man" who, through
miniaturization, reaches an inhabited micro-world where he meets
scientifically-advanced aliens. This volume also includes "The
Motionless Voyage" (1909), a story about an experimental
anti-gravity flying machine. This is a series of five volumes,
translated and annotated by Brian Stableford, devoted to presenting
the classic works of this pioneering giant of French science
fiction.
