This is a new collection of 12 French proto-science fiction tales
penned between 1757 and 1924, translated and annotated by renowned
science fiction writer and scholar Brian Stableford. From a
pioneering venture on the exploration of "inner space" by renowned
Swiss philosopher Emerich de Vattel to visions of Paris in ruins
being explored by future antiquarians; from interplanetary
communication with the planet Mars to the discovery of a spaceship
from Mercury, which crashed in the Antarctic, and the moving saga
of the Earthmen who tried to save its alien pilot, this fifth
collection provides an unparalleled view of the evolution of French
scientific romances. In the title piece, Quebec helped to make up
for France's lack of female genre writers with Emma-Adele Lacerte's
1917 sequel to Jules Verne's classic tale, Twenty Thousands Leagues
Under the Sea.
