“Rosny’s originality and importance in the history of world sf has for too long been obscured by the lack of accurate and complete translations of his work. Chatelain and Slusser’s superbly faithful English renderings and comprehensive critical annotations considerably advance our grasp of early French sf and of Rosny’s knowing departures from his greatest contemporaries, Verne and Wells.”
— Professor Terry Harpold, University of Florida
“A stellar addition to Wesleyan’s Early Classics of Science Fiction Series, this edition will take a permanent place on the small shelf of books indispensable in understanding the history of science fiction.” — Professor Paul Alkon, author of Science Fiction Before 1900 and Origins of Futuristic Fiction
