First edition as first published in serial form from April 1 through May 15 1928 in "la Revue universelle". This fantastic science fiction novel concerns the theme of the shrinking man. Maurice Renard 1875-1939 has been until recently little known outside the French speaking world. This probably was the result of a lack of translations available to English speakers. The work at hand is an early scientific novel on the theme of miniaturization.<p>Also in this run of the journal is the first publication of the French translation of PORGY by DuBose Hayward. The translation is the work of Denyse Clairouin 1900-1945 a translator and a French Resistance fighter. She was arrested in 1943 and deported to Ravensbruck and later to Mauthausen where she died in March 1945. Porgy is serialized from August 1 - September 15 1928.<p>In addition to these two important works the journals at hand contain: Two articles by Knud Rasmussen "Chez les Esquimaux" and "Chez les Esquimaux: sorcellerie et superstions"; letters of Marcel Proust to Paul Brach; "La Sauvagine" by Joseph d'Arbaud; "La Vie et les amours d'Edgar A. Poe" in 2 parts by Emile Lauvriere and "Un document sur le Bolchevisme" by Nikolai Ivanovich Bukharin. Paris: Revue universelle, January 1 - December 15, 1928. paperback
