{"product_id":"the-world-above-the-world-jules-perrin-9781612270029","title":"The World Above the World","description":"A balloon ascent to the Heavens... A man with X-ray vision... A utopian metal city built on giant pylons above Paris... A sexless world in which women reproduce parthenogenetically and man is unknown... Is science insane? Unholy? See nine French authors of the 19th century grapple in a ground-breaking fashion with the future themes of science fiction. All the stories included in this volume predate the first translation into French of H.G. Wells. They are representative of a distinct tradition of romans scientifiques whose cardinal influences included astronomer Camille Flammarion and Villiers de l'Isle-Adam. This edition includes a historical introduction and notes by sf scholar Brian Stableford.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jules Perrin, Andre Mas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612270026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612270029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hollywood Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.76d","brand":"Jules Perrin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46233043239167,"sku":"9781612270029","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c433b8a-1a25-41a2-bcf1-32bcb803c309.jpg?v=1728991897","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-world-above-the-world-jules-perrin-9781612270029","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
