Synopsis

This is only the second ever republication of the first book by the Scottish writer James Leslie Mitchell (better known as Lewis Grassic Gibbon). Commissioned for a popular series in futurological writing, Hanno, or the Future of Exploration looks to the decades ahead from the vantage point of 1928. Largely ignored despite its author’s later fame, the extended essay makes several startlingly accurate and some bizarrely inaccurate predictions about the coming exploration of land, ocean, the inner Earth and outer space. The text is here supported for the first time by a scholarly introduction, explanatory notes and commentary which help the reader rediscover a forgotten yet still highly readable work of a major modernist author.
