réf. 72623Paris, éd. Alfred Duquesne, 1887, EDITION ORIGINALE, pt. in-12, cartonnage demi-toilé noire, plats papier marbré rouge et noir, auteur et titre dorés sur dos lisse, reliure amateur d'époque, 214 - (2) pp., nb. illus., dont 1 en frontispice, dessinées et gravées par G. Le Riverend, reproduction d'une lettre de Gréard de L'université de France, académie de Paris, pour remercier l'auteur de lui avoir envoyé son texte en …1885, le 21 janvier !, prologue, table des chapitres, table des gravures, Charles Carpentier (1818 - 1887) était avocat à la Cour d'Appel de Paris. Notre roman d'anticipation est, à ma connaissance, le seul écrit de cet avocat. Comme l'indique la copie de la lettre de Gréard du 21 janvier 1885, il semblerai que ce texte fut écrit plutôt en 1884, comme l'indique aussi sa "prépublication" dans la revue "Au Théâtre" du jeudi 3 juillet 1884 et publié à Avranches. Un autre problème : concernant l'illustration de ce petit roman, il est indiqué sur la page de titre qu'il s'agit de G. Le Riverend, mais il faut peut-être penser qu'il s'agit de Louis Le Riverend, très connu à l'époque alors qu'un G.(Georges) n'est nulle part signaler ! Ce roman se passe dans les dessous de la terre, dans la région d'Avranches, où vivrat une population d'hommes venant de l'antiquité romaine. Il n'y a pas vraiment d'intrigue mais la description de leur vie est remarquable. Le destin de ces troglodytes romains sera d'être englouti sous des tonnes de roches. réf. Costes - Altairac 397. INTROUVABLE dans cette édition originale, voire même en réédition. Etat moyen; les plats de la reliure sont élimés avec manques de papier, quelques salissures au papier et 1 page recollé mais sans manque. Vu la rareté de cet ouvrage, je peux dire qu'il est en bon état !

1937réf. 223771937. LiteratureSci-fi Four-issue archive of Astounding Stories published by Street & Smith during a pivotal year in American science fiction. These 1937 issues each contain original content and are distinguished by visually arresting pulp cover art and contributions from some of the genre's early luminaries. Together they offer insight into science fiction's evolution prior to its "Golden Age" highlighting key works by underrecognized women writers and reflecting contemporary concerns about gender race and modernity. 1 Astounding Stories Volume XVIII Number 6. February 1937. Includes "At the Perihelion" by Robert Willey "The Saga of Pelican West" by Eric Frank Russell and short fiction by Stanton A. Coblentz and Jack Williamson. Features a science article by John W. Campbell Jr. titled "Other Eyes Watching." Issue contains early science journalism exploring the structure of the solar system. 2 Astounding Stories Volume XIX Number 2. April 1937. Lead novel is "Water for Mars" by Ross Rocklynne with additional fiction by P. Schuyler Miller and A. Macfadyen Jr. Stories include "The Endless Chain" "The Eye of Madness" and "Winter on the Planet." Notable for thematic emphasis on protoplasmic disintegration and sentient planetary life mirroring fears of biological destabilization during the interwar years. 3 Astounding Stories Volume XIX Number 5. July 1937. Features "Seeker of To-Morrow" by Eric Frank Russell and Leslie T. Johnson as well as "The Great Ones" by Leslie F. Stone one of the few known women writing speculative fiction in this era. Stone's story engages with themes of biological balance and evolutionary survival subtly confronting male-dominated narratives of scientific supremacy. Her inclusion in this issue marks a rare acknowledgment of female speculative authorship in 1930s pulp culture. Very scarce. 4 Astounding Stories Volume XX Number 2. October 1937. Contains Part II of "Galactic Patrol" by E.E. Smith and "Out of Night" by Don A. Stuart John W. Campbell plus "Stardust Gods" by Dow Elstar and Robert S. McCready. While dominated by space opera tropes the issue reflects growing interest in interplanetary mythology and militarized masculinity. An early archive of Astounding Stories in the pre-Campbell editorship period showcasing early contributions to the sci-fi genre and a significant seldom-seen appearance by a pioneering woman author. Light chipping paper brittleness and spine wear present across issues with many exhibiting partial separation of front wrapper. Interiors complete bindings fragile. Overall condition ranges from fair to good. A scarce early pulp magazine archive highlighting the early emergence of a notable female writer within the male-dominated pulp science fiction field of the 1930s. unknown
