Cloth, 4to, 26 cm, 160 pp. "[The citizen of 1900] believed that he would travel by 200 m.p.h. monorail; would cross an ocean in giant passenger submarines; or would even travel beneath it in huge sub-oceanic pneumatic tubes linking one continent with another. He also believed that latent powers within himself, such as Mesmerism, telepathy, animal magnetism, would be harnessed to accomplish feats dreamed of, but never achieved by the visionaries of the past. It was a time of optimism when anything and everything seemed possible. Writers felt free to let their imaginations run riot, and this was the heyday of H. G. Wells, Jules Verne and Conan Doyle. But as this collection shows, many other imaginative writers were also at work, giving their stories scientific twists which are often as daring as they are dramatic. Several ingredients of later science fiction here make their first appearance, gaining additional impact from the period setting. The introduction sets the stories in their social and scientific context, so that the general reader, no less than the science fiction devotee, can share the excitement which those readers of 1900 felt when they read of The Thames Valley Catastrophe or The Man who Meddled with Eternity and wondered - could such thingsreallyhappen?" - from the blurb. Good in price-clipped and used dustwrapper. Seller Inventory # ABE-04671
