{"product_id":"2940013876071","title":"Doctor Lerne","description":"Often hailed as the best French science fiction writer of the early 20th century, Maurice Renard coined the term \"Scientific Marvel Fiction\" to pen a series of gripping, ground-breaking stories that owe as much to Edgar Allan Poe as they do to H.-G. Wells. Until now, Renard was best known to the English-speaking public for his thrice-filmed thriller, The Hands of Orlac. This is a series of five volumes, translated and annotated by Brian Stableford, devoted to presenting the classic works of this pioneering giant of French science fiction. Dedicated to H.-G. Wells, Doctor Lerne (1908) features a mad scientist who performs organ transplants not only between men and animals, but also with plants, and even machines. This volume also includes \"Mr Dupont's Vacation\" (1905), a story about dinosaurs returning to life, and Renard's 1909 revolutionary manifesto on \"Scientific Marvel Fiction.\"","brand":"Black Coat Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145838510320,"sku":"2940013876071","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013876071_p0.jpg?v=1763600694","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013876071","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
