Sinopsis

The French have alwaysáhad a strongáaffinity for interplanetary fiction, but none of the celestial bodies have attracted more attention than the planet Mars.Our first volume offered a sample of Martian journeys mostly from the 18th and 19th centuries. In this second tome, we present four remarkable novels from the early part of the 20th century, published between 1906 and 1925: Arnould GalopinâÇÖs Doctor Omega, Gustave Le RougeâÇÖs ground-breakingáThe Prisoner of the Planet Mars, the team ofáL. Miral & A. Viger âÇÖsáThe Ring of Light, anmd finally J.-H. Rosny AënéâÇÖs classicáThe Navigators of Space.Each is ground-breaking in its own way and all are in many respects way ahead of what American magazines were publishing at the time. (Let us remember that Amazing Stories was not launched until 1926.)áThese stories are all unique and highly original andáprovide exemplars ofáthe rich tradition of fantastic voyages, in the broadáspectrum of French fantastic literature.
