Description Tarrano the Conqueror
In "Tarrano the Conqueror" is presented a tale of the year 2430 A.D.--a time somewhat farther beyond our present-day era than we are beyondColumbus' discovery of America. My desire has been to create for you the impression that you have suddenly been plunged forward into thattime--to give you the feeling Columbus might have had could he have read a novel of our present-day life.To this end I have conceived myself a writer of that future time, addressing his contemporary public. You are to imagine yourself readinga present day translation of my original text--a translation so free that a thousand little colloquialisms will have crept into it that couldnot possibly have their counterparts in the year 2430. - Summary by From the author's preface
