Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The father of science fiction illustration, and the author of The
Clock of the Centuries and The Adventures of Saturnin Farandoul,
Albert Robida (1848-1926), was the most significant of all of Jules
Verne's successors. In A Student in 1950 (1917), Robida returns to
his fictional world of 1950 that he introduced in his classic The
Twentieth Century (1883) and pens an exciting "Boy's Adventure,"
featuring the teenage students of the pseudo-futuristic School of
Chambourcy, an amusing predecessor to Harry Potter's Hogwarts. In
Chalet in the Sky (1925), Robida's last novel and literary "swan
song," the author boldly steps forward into the far future when Man
has emigrated to other worlds and he depicts the travels of a
colorful cast of characters aboard their aerial villa above a bleak
and exhausted Earth.
