An International Mission to the Moon
ISBN: 9781612274669 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Three exciting novels by the author of ETHEL KING, THE FEMALE NICK CARTER An International Mission to the Moon (1926) is one of a group of novels produced in different countries in the 1920s that attempted to produce realistic accounts of a voyage to the moon effected by means of rocket propulsion. It boasts the most substantial literary pedigree, and is the most realistic, far closer to that eventual reality than other, more primitive efforts. Petithuguenin's interest in technological advancement and the possibility of space travel are real and well-informed; he became one of the first...

The Vampire of the Val-de-Grace
ISBN: 9781612271231 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 1849, the mysterious Doctor Salomon Kanali and his family arrive in a Paris ravaged by a cholera epidemic. But is this Kanali the same embalmer who claimed to have the power to resurrect the dead? And why does his wife fear that her daughter Marthe is being wooed by the same vampire who once destroyed her mother? The Vampire of Val-de-Grace (1862) is a horror story, a love story, a mystery, a comedy and, marginally, a scientific romance; unique in its excess and its bizarre absurdity, it has a certain precious verve and a capacity to make the jaw drop.It belongs to the cynical and...

The Word in 2000 Years
ISBN: 9781612270586 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The World in 2000 Years (1878) is a work of science fiction based on economics. In the future it describes, the primary objective of economic policy is the prevention of the accumulation of money into the hands of relatively few individuals. While making money remains an objective, it is subsidiary to the determination to steer it in the right direction and redistribute it in such a way as to give every member of society the opportunity to earn a living free of hardship and strife. Whereas readers in 1878 could only make a simple comparison between their own world and the world of 3878 as it...

The Angel of Lust
ISBN: 9781612276687 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Maurice Magre (1877-1941) was one of the most far-ranging and extravagant French writers of fantastic fiction in the first half of the 20th century, and perhaps the finest of them, because of the fertility and versatility of his imagination and the manner and purpose for which he deployed it. This volume, the fourth of a series of twelve dedicated to Magre's works, offers the novella, The Love Life of Messalina (1925), in which the eponymous character is possessed by a version of the god Priapus, and becomes an incarnation of lust, and the novel The Angel of Lust (1926), a violent...

Bluebirds
ISBN: 9781943813254 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Bluebirds by Catulle MendEs (1841-1909), here delightfully translated for the first time into English by Brian Stableford, is fascinating, not only because it illustrates a particular evolution within the pattern of the author's own works, but because that pattern reflects a more general one associated with the evolution from the French Romanticism of the first half of the nineteenth century to the Decadent and Symbolist Movements of the fin-de-siEcle. MendEs was one of the key figures in the latter phases of that process of development, launching his literary career in the 1860s under the...

The Outcast Spirit: And Other Stories
ISBN: 9781943813131 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There is nothing else quite like the short stories of Lady Dilke in the annals of English literature, and even readers who have little sympathy with their stylistic affectations, allegorical pretensions and harrowing conclusions are likely to admit that they have a peculiar fascination. Those who find some resonance in their psychological ambience might easily think them touched with genius. The simple fact that they are so unusual is a great asset in itself, from the viewpoint of lovers of exotica, but they are not peculiar merely for the sake of cultivating unconventionality. Seen as an... There is nothing else quite like the short stories of Lady Dilke in the annals of English literature, and even readers who have little sympathy wit... |

The Antisocial Man and Other Strange Stories

This volume is the first of a set of three books showcasing the work of Frederic Boutet, the other two volumes being The Voyage of Julius Pingouin and Other Strange Stories and Claude Mercoeur's Reflection and Other Strange Stories. Viewed as an ensemble, they illustrate the range and development of Boutet's early work, and provide representative samples of its later evolution. Although several stories by Boutet were translated into English in the 1920s, especially in America, they were selected from his later works, when he was writing sentimental stories and crime fiction for popular...

Doctor Lerne
ISBN: 9781935558156 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Often hailed as the best French science fiction writer of the early 20th century, Maurice Renard coined the term "Scientific Marvel Fiction" to pen a series of gripping, ground-breaking stories that owe as much to Edgar Allan Poe as they do to H.-G. Wells. Until now, Renard was best known to the English-speaking public for his thrice-filmed thriller, The Hands of Orlac. Dedicated to Wells, Maurice Renard's Doctor Lerne (1908) features a mad scientist who performs organ transplants not only between men and animals, but also with plants, and even machines. It is the first of a series of five...

Richard Bessiere made his mark on 1960s French science fiction through a number of novels that featured an original blend of horror and SF. Two of his best works of the period are The Seven Rings Of Rhea (1962), in which Earth is described as seven concentric spheres with Hell at its core, and The Gardens Of The Apocalypse (1963) picturing a nightmarish post-cataclysmic Earth invaded by alien life forms, where survival is all but impossible. This edition also includes an illustrated bibliography and introduction by French SF scholar Remy Le Chevalier. Translator Brian M. Stableford has been a...
