Book Synopsis
Even after 100 years, this is a captivating fable - witty and biting - of a Thomas Edison-like inventor who creates the radiant and tragic android Hadaly, and the lovelorn aristocrat who falls for the manmade perfect woman who is conveniently adjustable so he may make her at his will to his taste and social needs.

Trade Review
"This surprising and fascinating science fiction tale has lost none of its charm and vitality even after 100 years. Robert M. Adams's translation should prove highly diversionary and entertaining for a wide range of readers." -- Choice "An interesting and controversial novel... This first translation is graceful and smooth." -- Library Journal
