Octavo, illustrations by Robert A. Graef, cloth. Later edition. Mader, "the German Jules Verne" according to Sam Moskowitz, was a popular author of fantastic romances in post-World War One Germany. DISTANT WORLDS is his only novel translated into English. WUNDERERWELTEN (1911) is a boys' book that "takes its spaceship crew to Mars and finally, at several times the speed of light, to Alpa Centauri, where they explore an Eden-like planet. Its content is quite advanced for 1911, but it is ill written." - Clute and Nicholls (eds), The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (1993), p. 762. Bleiler, Science-Fiction: The Early Years 1428. Locke, A Spectrum of Fantasy, p. 149. Bleiler (1978), p. 132. Reginald 09541. See Bloch (2002) 2021. A fine copy without dust jacket as issued. (#176703). Seller Inventory # 176703
