Download or read book Three Science Fiction Novellas written by J. H. Rosny and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Probably the greatest of all French-speaking science-fiction writers [after Jules Verne] . . . I was unprepared for the power and beauty.” —Michael Dirda, The Washington Post 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 Aîné 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 also includes an insightful critical introduction that places Rosny’s work within the context of evolutionary biology. “Rosny was a species pluralist, and believed that human beings are no more entitled than any other creature to reign supreme. He would have felt right at home among the Men In Black.” —Laura Miller, The New Yorker

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a child, I was always drawn to the captivating allure of science fiction stories. The idea of exploring new worlds, encountering strange creatures, and delving into the mysteries of the universe fascinated me to no end. I would spend hours immersed in the pages of books, imagining myself as an intrepid explorer venturing into the unknown. As I grew older, my love for science fiction only deepened. I realized that it was not just the thrill of adventure that drew me to these stories, but also the profound sense of wonder and curiosity they inspired in me. Science fiction, with its imaginative and often mind-bending concepts, allowed me to escape the confines of reality and explore the boundless possibilities of the human imagination. I soon discovered that I was not alone in my fascination with science fiction. People of all ages, from young children to seasoned adults, were equally enthralled by the genre. It seemed that there was something universal about the appeal of science fiction - something that transcended age, gender, and background. But what was it that made science fiction so irresistible to so many people? Was it the allure of fantastical worlds and futuristic technology, or the thrill of encountering the unknown? Perhaps it was a combination of both - a powerful blend of imagination and exploration that captivated the hearts and minds of readers everywhere. For me, reading science fiction was a journey of discovery - a chance to step outside the boundaries of reality and into a realm of limitless possibilities. It was a way to question the status quo, challenge the limits of what we know, and imagine a future that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying... So whether you are a child dreaming of distant planets, a teenager pondering the mysteries of the universe, or an adult grappling with the complexities of our world, science fiction has something to offer everyone. It is a genre that transcends age and time, inviting us all to embark on a journey of discovery and exploration that is as thrilling as it is enlightening...)
