In the 1890s, a generation before Hugo Gernsback, Louis Figuier,
editor of the French popular science magazine La Science Illustree,
made a concerted effort to define and delimit the genre of roman
scientifique, using that term to head a series of feuilletons that
ran in his magazine from 1888 to 1905. This is a new collection of
eight French proto-science fiction stories taken from the pages of
La Science Illustree, translated and annotated by renowned science
fiction writer and scholar Brian Stableford. Included here are
Vernian romances, tall tales featuring the dramatic extrapolation
of natural phenomena, stories highlighting the scientific
obsessions of geniuses with its social and psychological costs, and
stories of everyday life in which scientific knowledge comes to
play a significant role.
