A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, this foundational work of science fiction was also written by an imaginative young woman and published in the early 19th century. This tale, however, has a futuristic setting of 2126 and its "monster," an intelligent mummy, serves as a friend and counselor to mankind. The author's intriguingly prescient visions of social and technological advances include a form of the internet.

Biographie de l'auteur

Jane Webb Loudon (1807 58) was a leading horticulturist of her day and well known for her books on gardening. One of the first women to assay the genre later known as science fiction, she anonymously published her first work of fiction, The Mummy!, in 1827. A reviewer, John Loudon, was sufficiently impressed to seek out the author, and the two were subsequently married."
