During a tropical storm over the Pacific, French Air Force Captain L'Herbaudière is mysteriously transported to a utopia-like society of free love which rejected money and technology two thousand years earlier. But even that utopia has its dark side: the Accursed, a prison-state locked behind an impregnable magnetic barrier, where those who refuse to live in utopia are condemned to remain. The arrival of L'Herbaudière threatens the very foundations of the Inverted World...

Labelled "
one of the most imaginatively ambitious works of its era" by Brian Stableford, Marcel Rouff's Journey to the Inverted World (1920) is both a rare contemporary exercise in utopianism, as well as a ground-breaking work of science fiction depicting 2000 years of futuristic history.

Brian M. Stableford has been a professional writer since 1965. He has published more than 60 science fiction and fantasy novels, as well as several authoritative non-fiction books. He is also translating the works of Paul Féval and other French writers of the fantastique for Black Coat Press which also published his most two recent fantasy novels: The New Faust at the Tragicomique, The Wayward Muse and The Stones of Camelot.
