OMEGA: THE LAST DAYS OF THE WORLD. New York: Arno Press, 1975. Octavo, cloth. Later edition. Text offset from the 1894 Cosmopolitan Publishing Company edition. A translation of LA FIN DU MONDE, Flammarion's best and most imaginative novel, a panoramic view of humanity from the twenty-fifth century to the far future. "A work of remarkable scope and vision, one of the earliest and most ambitious cosmic histories, certainly worth reading, if only as a historical document. Of considerable historical importance, since it was probably read and absorbed by authors as diverse as W. H. Hodgson and Olaf Stapledon." - Bleiler, Science-Fiction: The Early Years 778. A fine copy without dust jacket as issued. (#175013).
