Reviews
"In a lengthy, well-researched introduction the authors situate Rosny's work within evolutionary biology, showcasing his interest in Darwinian evolution and arguing for his rightful place as the true father of hard science fiction. The three novellas are intriguing and nicely translated. ... Highly recommended."-S.E. Vie, Choice, "After Jules Verne, the Belgian-born Rosny (1856Ð1940) is probably the greatest of all French-speaking science-fiction writers, although only a few of his works have been readily available in English.Happily, thanks to the Wesleyan Early Classics of Science Fiction Series, three of Rosny's finest novellas can now be enjoyed in authoritative translations. Never having encountered any of his fiction, I was unprepared for the power and beauty of 'The Xipehuz,' 'Another World' and 'The Death of the Earth.'"ÑMichael Dirda, Washington Post, Rosny "belongs somewhere between Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. (He is) one of the true originals of science fiction.", "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."--Paul Alkon, author of Science Fiction Before 1900 "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."--Paul Alkon, author of Science Fiction Before 1900, "After Jules Verne, the Belgian-born Rosny (1856-;1940) is probably the greatest of all French-speaking science-fiction writers, although only a few of his works have been readily available in English.

Translators' Note Introduction: Rosny's Evolutionary Ecology The Xipéhuz Another World The Death of the Earth Notes Annotated Bibliography
Synopsis
To the short list that includes Jules Verne and H.G. Wells as founding fathers of science fiction, the name of the Belgian writer J.-H. Rosny A n must be added. He was the first writer to conceive, and attempt to narrate, the workings of aliens and alternate life forms. His fascination with evolutionary scenarios, and long historical vistas, from first man to last man, are important precursors to the myriad cosmic epics of modern science fiction. Until now, his work has been virtually unknown and unavailable in the English-speaking world, but it is crucial for our understanding of the genre. Three wonderfully imaginative novellas are included in this volume. "The Xipehuz" is a prehistoric tale in which the human species battles strange geometric alien life forms. "Another World" is the story of a mysterious being who does not live in the same acoustic and temporal world as humans. "The Death of the Earth" is a scientifically uncompromising Last Man story. The book includes an insightful critical introduction that places Rosny's work within the context of evolutionary biology., Three ground-breaking works from a master of modern science fiction To the short list that includes Jules Verne and H.G.
