Leafing through the merveilleux-scientifique<\/em> novels today allows for a dual rediscovery: firstly, it uncovers the previously unrecognised richness of Belle \u00c9poque scientific fiction, which did not perish with the works of Verne. The stories take in journeys to Mars, solar cataclysms, reading of auras, psychic control, weighing of souls, death rays, alien invasions, even strolls among the infinitesimally small. But exploring the genre also offers insights into the cultural history of the era, marked by a significant permeability between science and pseudo-science. Reading this work, we can learn a lot about the aspirations, fears and beliefs of early 20th-century Europe.<\/p>\n
