Trade Paperback. Condition: New. New. 108pp. Empyrean Series 9 'I want to tell an amusing story, and yet begin at a grave. It is cynical, but I hope that, after a few words of explanation, even tender souls will forgive me.' -- A weird tale of sleight-of-hand, of resurrection, of time travel, from the late 19th century. Newton's Brain by Jakub Arbes, translated from the Czech by Josef Jirí Král, is an example of what the author called a 'romanetto', a very brief novel, often with fantastic elements. Published in English in Poet Lore in 1892, the book tells the story of a young man of science, whose beliefs are tested when his childhood friend shows up unexpectedlyunexpected, because he had died when a sabre split his skull in two during the Austro-Prussian War some months earlier. Convinced that his friend is playing some kind of elaborate ruse, he accepts his invitation to a secretive lecture, at which his friendwho claims to have had his own damaged brain replaced with that of Isaac Newtonpromises to reveal everything.' ~ Publisher.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this story, two ideas coincide: the brain of the genius and trickster apparently dies at the Battle of Koeniggraetz in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. However, he has not died and instead is able to procure a replacement for his injured brain, the brain of Isaac Newton. Subsequently, he uses Newton's knowledge of the laws of nature to overcome them, using a strange device to travel faster than the speed of light, and also to photograph the past. Newton's Brain was published 18 years before H.G. Wells's The Time Machine, and has been considered a strong influence on Wells. A young man creates his own time machine and travels back in time to witness battles between Prussia and Austria. The first ever SF novel written in Czech by the celebrated Modernist author Jakub Arbes. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

The narrative centers on a genius and trickster who survives the Battle of Königgrätz by replacing his damaged brain with that of Isaac Newton. Armed with Newton's profound understanding of natural laws, he invents a device that allows him to travel faster than light and capture images of the past. This innovative premise, published nearly two decades before H.G. Wells's seminal work, has significantly influenced the genre of science fiction and explores themes of intellect, time travel, and the manipulation of reality.
