Las Fuerzas Extrañas by Leopoldo Lugones
QR code
"Las Fuerzas Extrañas" by Leopoldo Lugones is a collection of short stories published in 1906. This pioneering work of Argentine science fiction and fantasy features twelve tales exploring the dangerous consequences of pushing beyond human knowledge's limits. Scientists invite friends to witness their experimental results, only to meet with disaster. The stories employ pseudoscientific theories—some later validated by actual science—to examine themes like sound's hidden power, thought materialization, and evolution's unsettling implications.
Praised by Borges, this collection fundamentally shaped Latin American speculative fiction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
