Eleven years before Jules Verne took his readers to the Moon, 40
years before Wells devised the Time Machine, nearly a century
before Tolkien published Lord Of The Rings, Charles Defontenay
wrote the imaginary history of an entire star system located in the
far off constellation of Cassiopeia. Long before science fiction
writers dreamed of interstellar travels, alien races and the
colonization of other planets, in 1854, on the eve of the Crimean
War, Charles Defontenay penned the first modern "space opera." STAR
is a treasure chest of alien lore, the history of a world and its
varied species, their rise and fall, triumphs and failures. It
includes samples of their literature, arts and moral codes. Above
all, it is a visionary work without precedent in the history of
science fiction.
