Flying Fish "Prometheus": A Fantasy of the Future

Dwight R. Decker

4.5/5 ( ratings)

A long-lost story of 19th Century science fiction in the Jules Verne style, FLYING FISH "PROMETHEUS" is a humorous adventure set in a future that never was. Though written in 1869 and published in Denmark in 1870, the story was first translated into English in 2010 for publication in a steampunk anthology. It is now presented here with an accompanying historical essay as well as translator's notes giving the story's background for the modern reader. It's a long way from Denmark to Panama, and anything can happen on a flight aboard an airship modelled after a flying fish, from utter disaster to a touch of romance! Even after 145 years, Vilhelm Bergsøe's flight of fancy is still fresh and funny!
