Philippe-August Villiers de L'Isle Adam : L'Eve Future

I do not know sufficient about Villiers de l’Isle Adam to advise you. His best known book is 'L’Eve Future'. I have read half of it twice, but could never get to the end of it. Axel (play) is another famous book of his but I have not read it. His short stories are very renowned indeed. Contes Cruels and Nouveaux Contes Cruels. I have read all these. I should say that they were pretty wonderful fifty or sixty years ago , but what they would look like in a translation I cannot predict.
