Andre Laurie was a one of Jules Verne's collaborators, a pioneer of
science fiction as well as a prolific writer, militant journalist
and even politician. In Spiridon (1907), a young surgeon discovers
an island off the coast of Corsica inhabited by giant, intelligent
ants. Their king, Spiridon, eager to learn more about humanity,
goes to Paris where, using his advanced knowledge, he begins
effecting miraculous cures before being unmasked by jealous
competitors. Forced to protect himself, Spiridon reveals his alien
nature and becomes a killer. Spiridon, a non-humanoid alien gifted
with knowledge, scientific curiosity, but no human emotions, the
victim of mankind's fears, is a ground-breaking science fiction
character and a striking departure from both Jules Verne and H.G.
Wells. Michael Shreve is a writer and translator currently living
in Paris. His credits include translations of John-Antoine Nau and
Marcel Schwob.
This book is a facsimile reprint and may contain imperfections such
