EARLY FORMS OF ROMANIAN SCIENCE FICTION LITERATURE: "OCEANIA PACIFIC" BY ALEXANDRU MACEDONSKI

Summary/Abstract: The Macedonskian spirit, relentlessly seeking new experiences and ways to learn ever more about this world, to go beyond it and at the same time portray some of its acute problems, ventures into a different kind of fiction, one fathered by Jules Verne and H.G.Wells, namely science fiction. Although there are major differences to be noted between pure fiction and science fiction, the latter does essentially belong to the broader genre of fiction. Oceania-Pacific-Drednough turns out to be a veritable gold mine for its numerous shareholders, as an estimated fourteen million people wished to witness the launching of this world-class wonder of technology.
