Originally published in 1906, the fantastic tales of Strange Forces make up a significant contribution to the gas-light era fiction being written at the time. That era's fascination with the occult and scientific invention (along the lines of Poe and H.G. Wells) is what propels these twelve stories and the curious final essay on cosmogony.
"There can be no
doubt that Lugones was one of a handful of literary figures
who helped shape Latin American literature as it is today."
--Merlin H. Forster
