When Vanel acquires the power of invisibility, he becomes Homo-Deus, invisible but for his emerald green eyes, haunting the dreams of evil men and lovely women alike.\u003cp\u003eFelicien Champsaur's Homo-Deus (1924) is a ground-breaking novel which combines biomedical and superhero speculative fiction. It is a milestone in the evolution of the superhero, dealing with its fundamental problem: to what extent a person who can act with total impunity is likely to admit any constraints stemming from morality? Also included in this volume are Champsaur's sequel, Kill the Old, Enjoy! (1925), a brutal but honest look at the moral disintegration of society after World War I, and an afterword by Brian Stableford.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Coat Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031469277424,"sku":"9781612273518","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781612273518_p0.jpg?v=1763844761","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781612273518","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
