El “Eslabón Perdido” en la historia de la ciencia-ficción norteamericana ha sido por fin descubierto. Edward Page Mitchell fue por cincuenta años editor de The Sun, diario de Nueva York… y muy posiblemente quien más influyó en H. G. Wells, adelantándose a él en muchos conceptos.

عالم أنسجة جعل محور اهتمامه مقتصرًا حول تعديل المواد الصبغية في الجسم، بل وإزالتها بغرض الوصول لتجربة 'الرجل الشفاف'. الرجل الشفاف حلم قديم راود البشر، تجلي هذا الحلم في التراث الشعبي والروايات والقصص والأفلام. جدل كبير حول أخلاقية الأمر، من الناحية العلمية والأخلاقية، بل وحول أحقية العلم في اختراع هذا السلاح الخطير!

قصة قصيرة ممتعة و مدهشة كتبت بأسلوب مباشر و سلاسة في طرح الأحداث ووصف دقيق مختصر .
نسخة مؤسسة هنداوي للكاتبة/المترجمة لبنى أحمد نور جد رائعة .
بالطبع سيكون لي لقاء آخر مع إدوارد بيدج ميتشل لأنه بالفعل أديب مدهش و مميز.

A very good collection, still readable today. Some of the stories stand comparison with those by HG Wells.

The stories within are very simply structured and run an average of about 10 pages in length. Most are somewhat boring and seem to me as satirical pieces valid in their day but very obtuse now. There were a few stories that did peak my interest though. These mentionable stories being: The Crystal Man, the Balloon Tree, the Facts in the Ratcliffe Case, An Uncommon Sort of Spectre, The Case of the Dow Twins, and An Extraordinary Wedding.
The Crystal Man is only notable (aside from its potential his

I think my favorite of all is possibly 'The Devil's Funeral.' Quite a boggling bit, that.

Generally fun. The guy is pretty stylistic and has a good sense of humor (like it said in the intro). A regretable tendency to give symbolic Bunyanesque names to people.

This collection of short sci-fi stories starts out strong, but the latter tales are almost redundant and quite bizarre. To my cousin Eddie: you would definitely enjoy the early stories here, and appreciate Mitchell's creativity - his stories about an invisible man and time travel preceded H. G. Wells by six years. Anyone who enjoys science fiction should pick up a copy if they can find it.
