1901. London: William Heinemann, 1901. 32 pp undated ads. Original yellow cloth decorated in black. First English Edition, second issue, first binding state. This was Conrad's only science fiction title, involving people from The Fourth Dimension -- though the work is largely Hueffer's. The "I" narrator is Etchingham Granger, a writer of impeccable pedigree whose fortunes are none too good and who is forced to take on several disagreeable commercial assignments. Early on, he meets an extremely attractive young lady who is a "Fourth Dimensionist." This tribe of "new people" -- there is a dystopian pattern here -- lacks feelings and normal or human responses. They, and she, are dedicated to becoming the inheritors of the earth because of their superiority in intellect, control and deception. In particular, they plan to undermine public confidence in its institutions, which turns out to be fairly easy given the nature of the men who govern. The political satire lies here: everyone has a price and… Read More

1901. London: William Heinemann, 1901. 32 pp undated ads. Original yellow cloth decorated in black. First English Edition, first issue, first binding state. The UK edition was issued a month after the American one, and consisted of 1,500 copies in two issues and three bindings. This was Conrad's only science fiction title, involving people from The Fourth Dimension -- though the work is largely Hueffer's. This copy is first issue, withOUT the dedication leaf ("To Borys & Christina"): according to Cagle "it would appear that the [dedication] leaf was inserted into only a few copies"; one would presume that these were likely the last copies to be bound up. This copy is in the primary binding (with the pictorial cover panel and with "W H" bracketing the windmill on the spine) -- and it is the first state of that first binding, i.e. with an ad catalogue and with the top edge trimmed, the other edges rough-trimmed. It is a very good-to-near-fine copy (minor soil and wear including a faint pattern on the… Read More

1901. New York: McClure, Phillips & Co., 1901. Original tan cloth pictorially decorated in black, orange and gilt. First Edition of the first collaboration between Conrad and Hueffer -- a tale that combines science fiction with political satire, somewhat in the same vein as had recently been popularized by H. G. Wells. This is regarded as Conrad's only science fiction tale -- though the work is largely Hueffer's. The "I" narrator is Etchingham Granger, a writer of impeccable pedigree whose fortunes are none too good and who is forced to take on several disagreeable commercial assignments. Early on, he meets an extremely attractive young lady who is a "Fourth Dimensionist." This tribe of "new people" -- there is a dystopian pattern here -- lacks feelings and normal or human responses.
