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.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.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.
