A translation of DIX MILLE ANS DANS UN BLOC DE GLACE 1889. A sequel of sorts to LES SECRETS DE MONSIEUR SYNTHESE 1888-9. This same monsieur the sole survivor of a polar expedition is resuscitated after having been in suspended animation for 10000 years by the Cerebrals an advanced race of tiny humanoids a cross of Chinese and Negroes possessing tremendous mental powers which enable them among other things to fly and to communicate with Mars. Versins notes that the book is remarkable for its lack of the sort of racism that characterizes most adventure fiction of this period. It is also for a sleeper-awakes-in-the-distant-utopian-future SF tale unusually short. Reference: Anatomy of Wonder 1976 2-21 and 1981 1-25. Bleiler Science-Fiction: The Early Years 246.
