‎New York: The Cosmopolitan Publishing Company 1894. Octavo pp. 1-6 7-287 288: blank note: first leaf is a blank numerous illustrations by Jean Paul Laurens Saunier Meaulle Vogel and others original two-part blue cloth front and spine panels stamped in gold. First edition in English. A translation of LA FIN DU MONDE Flammarion's best and most imaginative novel a panoramic view of humanity from the twenty-fifth century to the far future Stapledonian in scope. "A work of remarkable scope and vision one of the earliest and most ambitious cosmic histories certainly worth reading if only as a historical document. Of considerable historical importance since it was probably read and absorbed by authors as diverse as W. H. Hodgson and Olaf Stapledon." - Bleiler Science-Fiction: The Early Years 778. LA FIN DU MONDE is Flammarion's "boldest scientific romance . an epic of the future. Although it is as much essay as story this is a notable work akin to H. G. Wells's THE TIME MACHINE 1895 and William Hope Hodgson's THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND 1908 in presenting a striking vision of the end of the world." - Clute and Nicholls eds The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction 1993 p. 432.

‎STORIES OF INFINITY: LUMEN -- HISTORY OF A COMET -- IN INFINITY . Translated from the French by S. R. Crocker‎

‎Boston: Roberts Brothers 1873. 12mo pp. i-ii iii-iv 5-287 288: blank flyleaves at front and rear original green cloth front and spine panels stamped in gold and blind brown coated endpapers. First edition in English. LUMEN first appeared in French as RECITS DE L'INFINI in 1873; an enlarged edition followed in 1887 as LUMEN. The revised text of LUMEN was translated into English and published in New York in 1892 by Cassell apparently an unauthorized edition and in London in 1897 by Heinemann apparently an authorized edition with further revisions by Flammarion. The earlier Roberts Brothers text follows Flammarion's original 1873 text. LUMEN is a story in a series of dialogues "of a being who has undergone a number of incarnations on other worlds including planets round Capella Gamma Virgo Sirius and in the constellation Orion." - Locke A Spectrum of Fantasy p. 84. LUMEN is "perhaps the single most innovative work in the entire literature of the scientific imagination. It is the first work to offer any real idea of the scale of the universe; the first to investigate the implications of the finite speed of light and thus to toy with the notion of the relativity of space and time; and the first to examine the implications of evolutionary theory in the modeling of alien life-systems. In all these endeavors it was ahead of its time . It is in Flammarion's work that we find the fountainhead of the mythology of alien beings . Flammarion originated the mode of thought which is effective in modern science fiction's dealings with the category alien. LUMEN's affinity with modern science fiction goes further than this because it is a work expressly directed to the cultivation of the sense of wonder in whose cultivation according to many readers the prime virtue of modern science fiction lies." - Survey of Science Fiction Literature III pp. 1294-98. The two other stories "History of a Comet" and "In Infinity" the first a panoramic history of the solar system narrated by a passing comet the second a spirit description of the universe do not appear to have been reprinted in English after their initial appearance here.

Contemporary quarter brown gilt-stamped large-grained morocco gilt-stamped black-printed light blue cloth black calf gilt-stamped spine labels top edge gilt; PAGES LOOSE. Very good. "The End of the World." First edition. While not the first science fiction novel concerned with the extinction of the human race Flammarion's novel was perhaps the first to treat the matter so scientifically as it relates the consequences of a carbonic-oxide comet colliding with the Earth in the 25th century. A disastrously unsuccessful adaptation of the novel was filmed by Abel Glance in 1931. The second part chapter III opens with a marvelous vignette of a flying airship with vanes for wings propellers and the two occupants are lock-lipped! A photo-engraving signed by Helle of the Sun appears on p. 121: "Deja en certaines annees le Soleil se couvre de taches immenses." There is also an engraving to show the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883 p. 193. Flammarion penned these lines translated herein within this book "In the future when the end of things will arrive on this earth the event will then pass completely unperceived in the universe. The stars will continue to shine after the extinction of our sun as they already shone before our existence." Ernest Flammarion, 1894. hardcover books‎

PROVENANCE: Early pencil ownership signature of Rene Hayaux du Tilly Oct. 1948 1912 - 1998. Near fine. Rare. First edition. This monumental work offers a compilation of all known observations of Mars since 1636. A rich & readable study of combined human knowledge of Mars replete with illustrations and photographs and enhanced by several maps of which two are color. A second volume was issued in 1909. Flammarion was a distinguished writer and astronomer whose special interest was Mars and in this work he seriously approaches the question of whether there is life or even civilization on Mars. A rare but key publication in the history of Mars. DSB V. "In 1892 Flammarion published La planete Mars et ses conditions d'habitabilite a compilation and synthesis of all that had been written and conjectured about the planet since 1636. A second edition appeared in 1909. Flammarion accepted the maritime view of Mars in which the dark areas were seas and the light areas continents. The orange red hue of the latter suggested a sterile sandy environment. But he argued was it possible to 'condemn a world to a fate of this kind' when all the elements of life are abundantly evident Accordingly he attributed the baleful color to vegetation." – Hockey Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers Vol I. pp. 372-373.
