"...[The Time Ship] inaugurates one of science fiction's most
potent subgenres, and for this alone, it deserves to be remembered
and honored. Moreover, the period illustrations by Francesc Soler
are exceptionally charming."--Michael Dirda, The Washington
Post
"Yolanda Molina-Gavil�n and Andrea L. Bell have assembled a compact
yet comprehensive edition that situates Gaspar within the Western
literature of time travel, delineating new paths of inquiry for
critics and introducing the reader to an author of striking with
and presence."--Pedro Ponce, Journal of the Fantastic in the
Arts
"as an insight into the wider international background that
accompanied the rise of scientific romance in Europe, this well
researched and beautifully presented edition of the first time
travel story involving a time machine is a worthy addition to any
science fiction library."--Chris Pak, Foundation
"This is a lovely little slice of genre history. The Time Ship
makes for an entertaining--and in places gleefully
subversive--read.... Thanks are due to Wesleyan University Press
for supporting its publication, and to all involved for bringing it
back to light for modern SF fans."--Nic Clarke, Strange
Horizons
"As the first English Translation of this humorous and important
work, this book belongs on the shelf along with more famous works
of science fiction from the late 19th century, as a reminder of the
contributions of less-known but still important Spanish writers to
this genre. Recommended"--P.J. Kurtz, Choice
"[The Time Ship] inaugurates one of science fiction's most potent
subgenres, and for this alone, it deserves to be remembered and
honored. Moreover, the period illustrations by Francesc Soler are
exceptionally charming."--Michael Dirda, The Washington Post
"a jolly romp with considerable humour and sly digs at both Spanish
and French pretensions."--Nick Caistor, Times Literary
Supplement
"What an amazing discovery! A time machine before H. G. Wells, and
lively and witty romps through history before Doctor Who. Add
Enrique Gaspar to the list of inventors of science fiction, and
place him high."--Andy Sawyer, Science Fiction Foundation
Collection, University of Liverpool Library
"Gaspar's novel takes us back to science fiction's infancy, when
emotion and intelligence were enough to evoke a sense of wonder,
creating pure adventure without needing to resort to rivers of
blood or extreme violence. Reading it is a surprising experience as
well because, though almost 125 years old, The Time Ship proves
that many of the themes we think of as current were already a
concern to our great-grandparents.""--Da�na Chaviano, author of The
Island of Eternal Love
"What an amazing discovery! A time machine before H. G. Wells, and
lively and witty romps through history before Doctor Who. Add
Enrique Gaspar to the list of inventors of science fiction, and
place him high."--Andy Sawyer, Science Fiction Foundation
Collection, University of Liverpool Library
