The Frenetic People
ISBN: 9781612271187 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 1925, Ernest Perochon, a winner of the prestigious Goncourt literary award, penned The Frenetic People, a prescient warning against unchecked technology. The novel takes place in our 30th century, the 5th century of the new Universal Era, after a bacteriological war with Asia. Boundless energy is provided by the controlled disintegration of matter. The secrets of the atom have been uncovered. Cities stretch along the meridians of the globe, forming a planet-wide grid. But another, even more cruel war starts between rival meridians, using new weapons that mutate men and turn them into...

The Xenobiotic Invasion
ISBN: 9781612270548 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Aurore Lescure, the first woman astronaut to have gone into space, returns to Earth with deadly alien spores which feed on electricity and threatens to utterly destroy our civilization. Theo Varlet's 1930 novel shows the influence of J.-H. Rosny Aine's classic disaster story The Mysterious Force (1913) and Henri Allorge's award-winning The Great Cataclysm (1922), both available from Black Coat Press. It is an exhilarating thriller which extrapolates ideas about dangerous alien lifeforms with considerable verve and polish, and foreshadows many similar-themed novels of the 1950s.

Priscilla of Alexandria
ISBN: 9781612276670 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 372 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 third of a series of twelve dedicated to Magre's works, offers six stories featuring fictitious biographies of sexually voracious women, as well as his classic fantasy novel Priscilla of Alexandria (1925). Priscilla was a contender for the Goncourt Prize, but the jury...

The Second Life of Doctor Albin
ISBN: 9781612274676 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Second Life of Doctor Albin (1902) belongs to a set of fictions that explore the supposed psychology typical of scientists with considerable analytical intensity. One of the central tenets of these is that scientific genius is incompatible with, and perhaps antithetical to, love between the sexes. The novel provides what is perhaps the most searching analysis of that allegedly-perverse emotional involvement with science to be found in the genre. Raoul Gineste (1852-1914) was a scientist as well as a poet, and his attitude is far more balanced than some, infused with a genuine puzzlement...

The Fossil Man
ISBN: 9781612274096 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Jules Gros' The Fossil Man (1882) is a mildly satirical comedy describing the progress of an 1876 international scientific expedition to a fictitious island south-west of New Zealand, which comes across the existence of fossilized human remains. The theme was still very controversial when the story was set, especially in Catholic France, where religious opposition to the idea of the great antiquity of the human species, making nonsense of Biblical chronology, had been forceful. The notion that the human species had undergone a long, slow process of evolution was anathematized, and the gradual...
