In between, we have tales of a heart transplant, a device that can see through time and an alien dragon. The book also includes Albert Robida's classic novella \"The Monkey King\" in which Saturnin Farandoul, shipwrecked as a baby and raised by apes on a Pacific Island, visits the Mysterious Island and joins forces with Captain Nemo to battle the savage pirate hordes of Bora-Bora. Stories by Georges Eekhoud, Stéphane Mallarmé, Guy de Maupassant, Louis-Sébastien Mercier, Eugène Mouton, Fernand Noat, Jean Richepin, Adrien Robert and Albert Robida. This edition includes a historical introduction and notes by Stableford.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hollywood Comics","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47586579710103,"sku":"9781932983890","price":1710.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781932983890.webp?v=1774964575","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/news-from-the-moon-9781932983890","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
