Publisher's Synopsis
Stories of Infinity is a collection of three science fiction tales by French astronomer and author Camille Flammarion. The first story, Lumen, follows a group of scientists who discover a way to harness the power of light and use it to explore the depths of space. In History of a Comet, Flammarion tells the story of a comet that passes close to Earth and the impact it has on the people who witness it. The final story, In Infinity, explores the concept of infinity and the possibility of life on other planets. Originally published in 1873, these stories offer a fascinating glimpse into the scientific and philosophical ideas of the time. Flammarion's vivid descriptions and imaginative storytelling make this book an engaging read for anyone interested in science fiction, astronomy, or the history of science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
