Alexandre Beliaev (1884-1942) is a kind of Russian Jules Verne. He has written numerous science fiction novels and also a lot of short stories of astonishing premonition. Much admired in his country, it has hardly been translated in France. So this is a discovery. It is planned to continue the publication of his work with a novel, which we will publish in French only, and probably with another collection of short stories.
