1934Best.-Nr. 30289Editions La Nouvelle Revue Critique / Collection " Les Maîtres du Roman " n° 32 de 1927. In-12 broché de 220 pages au format 19 x 12 cm. Couverture avec titre imprimé. Dos resté carré. Plats et intérieur frais, malgré 3 petites traces en couverture. Ce récit raconte les aventures de trois astronautes français sur la planète Mars et leur rencontre avec différentes formes de vie. Une suite de ce roman fut annoncée dès 1925, mais ne fut publiée qu'à titre posthume en 1960 sous le titre Les Astronautes.
