This collection of 18 proto-science fiction tales, translated and
edited by renowned science fiction writer and scholar Brian
Stableford, includes such ground-breaking tales as Charles Cros' An
Interastral Drama (1872), about an unlawful love between an
Earthman and a Venusian woman, Victorien Sardou's The Black Pearl
(1862), the first romance of forensic science, Eugene Mouton's The
End of the World (1872), depicting an ecocatastrophe precipitated
by global warming generated by human industrial activity, and Louis
Mullem's The Supreme Progress (1890), an imaginative tour de force
of unprecedented scope predicting ideas that were later to be
popularized by writers such as Olaf Stapledon. All the stories
included in this volume predate the first translation into French
of H.G. Wells. They are representative of a distinct tradition of
romans scientifiques whose cardinal influences included astronomer
Camille Flammarion and Villiers de l'Isle-Adam. This edition
includes a historical introduction and notes by Stableford.
