Der findes forløbere for science fiction-litteraturen helt tilbage til de gamle grækere. Men det er i perioden 1870-1920, at genren for alvor vinder udbredelse og udvikles af forfattere, der ser at den passer til den nye tidsalder – en periode med voldsom udvikling indenfor videnskab og teknologi, men også indenfor samfundsforholdene.Det er også en periode, hvor store dele af verden oplever voksende politiske spændinger mellem landene. Det kommer bl.a. til udtryk gennem en række mere eller mindre lokale krige, der øger den generelle fornemmelse af usikkerhed. Det fører til opblomstringen af en særlig undergenre af science fiction: fortællingen om den fremtidige krig – enten den nu er konventionel eller tænkes udkæmpet med nye supervåben.I samme periode er der en øget opmærksomhed på katastrofer i mere generel forstand – dels naturkatastrofer, som menneskene er uden egen skyld i, og dels katastrofer der er et resultat af den måde vi indretter det moderne samfund på. Her er fx både luftforurening og overforbrug af ressourcer repræsenteret. Katastrofernes resultat spænder fra midlertidige vanskeligheder til menneskehedens udslettelse.Dette udvalg af historier om krige og katastrofer bringer historier fra Storbritannien, USA, Canada, Tyskland, Østrig og New Zealand. Det viser, at frygten for krig og angsten for de mange teknologiske landvindingers negative bagside var ganske udbredt i perioden.Indhold:Grant Allen: Katastrofen i ThemsdalenGeorge T.

"The Triumphs of Eugène Valmont" is a collection of short stories by Robert Barr, first published in 1906. The stories feature the titular character, Eugène Valmont, a French detective who solves crimes in the late 19th century. Valmont is portrayed as a confident and clever detective, who often outsmarts the criminals he is investigating. The stories are full of humor and satire, with Valmont being portrayed as a parody of the typical fictional detective of the time. In the first story, "The Mystery of the Five Hundred Diamonds," Valmont is hired by a wealthy American to find a missing necklace. Valmont quickly realizes that the American is not telling the truth, and uncovers a complicated plot involving multiple suspects. In another story, "The Siamese Twin of a Bomb-Thrower," Valmont investigates a bomb-throwing anarchist who is believed to have a Siamese twin. Valmont uses his wit and charm to gain the trust of the anarchist and ultimately uncovers the truth about his accomplices. Overall, "The Triumphs of Eugène Valmont" is a witty and entertaining collection of stories that showcase the intelligence and charm of its protagonist, Eugène Valmont.
