Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades after Edgar Allan Poe's longest and weirdest tale, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, was published—the protagonist disappearing into the misty, mystifying Antarctic seas; his fate unknown—Jules Verne took up the challenge to answer what had happened to him. In The Sphinx of the Ice Realm, he penned the most amazing journey of his fabled career: a voyage across the bottom of the world! An astonishing mix of manhunt, sea story, scientific speculation, and polar nightmare, Verne's epic fantasy novel appears here for the first time as a new and complete translation by noted Verne expert Frederick Paul Walter. The book is a treat for any fan of science fiction and fantasy, and includes many fascinating notes for students and scholars alike. In addition, the book features a complete, reader-friendly rendition of the original Poe tale that sparked Verne's uniquely imaginative response.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story of adventure and exploration in the South Polar regions. The tale is founded upon Edgar Allan Poe's story of Arthur Gordon Pym. This is the text. An Antarctic mystery is the continuation and explanation. Captain Len Guy and Mr. Jeorling, an Englishman and American, organize an expedition to discover what has become of the characters in Poe's tale. After many adventures the men are discovered in a dying condition. The Antarctic mystery is a colossal magnet, in the shape of the mythological Sphinx, which attracted iron with such force that the iron bands of the boats which came within its influence were torn out and projected as though by a catapult. On closer examination, the mountain was seen to be dotted with the arms, utensils, grapnel, and even the nails of the boats of the explorers. At the foot of the monster lay the naked corpse of Pym, who had apparently been seized by the magnetic fluid before he could get rid of the gun which was slung over his shoulder, and had been hurled against the fatal loadstone Sphinx of the Ice-realm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the self-definition of Surrealism and the initial defining of science fiction as a genre both took place in the 1920s and the links between the two are manifest, no full study has appeared till now on Surrealism and SF. Across ten original essays, Surrealism, Science Fiction and Comics looks at how the Surrealist movement in France and the USA used, informed, contributed to, and criticised SF from that moment, whilst including discussion of the related genre of comics. Among its aims are a reassessment of Jules Verne in the light of Surrealism and an analysis of the debate in the 1950s on the 'new' Anglo-American literature arriving in France. This received, in fact, a mixed reception from the Surrealists of that decade even though writers and intellectuals close to the movement in the 1920s were directly responsible for its success. The book includes further essays on the subsequent impact of Surrealism on SF novelists J.G. Ballard and Alan Burns, and features essays that argue for Salvador Dalí's closeness to SF in the 1960s and his disagreement with the earlier scientific romance defined by Verne. The chapters that bring in comics range from theoretical discussions of the relation between the original comic strips of Rodolphe Töpffer and the key Surrealist technique of automatism, used in art and writing, through the cybernetic implications of the proto-SF Surrealist ciné-roman 'M. Wzz...' of 1929, which has never discussed in any detail before, to the 1948 Vache paintings by René Magritte, inspired by Louis Forton's strip Les Pieds nickelés. This pioneering set of essays shows how Surrealism from the 1920s to the 1970s did not just receive and adapt SF but impacted the genre in its later manifestations.
