Noel Rože - Novi Adam.
Prevela Lela Nikolić
Ovaj roman nije tako teško naći u antikvarnicama, ali prvi put sam ga video sa zaštitnim omotom, pa rekoh da podelim sa vama...
Noëlle Roger's Le nouvel Adam(1924; translated as The New Adam, London: Stanley Paul & Co. Ltd., 1926).[/color]
[/size] When Herve Silenrieux, a hapless medical student working for Dr. Flecheyre at Paris's Institut Pasteur, attempts suicide by shooting himself in the head, Flecheyre implants in him an experimental combination of glands that he believes will stimulate the brain - and in so doing, create an evolved human. Indeed, Herve becomes incredibly brilliant... but wholly logical and unpleasant. For example, he no longer hesitates to kill patients for experimental data. Dismissed from the hospital, Herve develops a death ray, which he tests on villagers in the French countryside; after that, he detonates lumps of lead with the force of an atomic bomb, setting off a series of earthquakes. Attempting to prevent Herve from wiping out the human race, Flecheyre confronts him; Herve's forcefield detonates the lead bullets in Flecheyre's pistol, and both men die.[/color]
