«L'Ève future» is the science fiction novel by Auguste comte de Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, published by Gallimard in paperback (441 pages, in French).
Lord Ewald loves a beautiful but dim-witted woman; a scientist expert in electricity offers to replace her with an artificial double, Hadaly, as beautiful as the original and far more intelligent. The novel, one of the first works of science fiction, reflects on impossible love, perfection, and the limits of progress.
Edition established and annotated by Alan Raitt, in the Folio classique collection; the work was originally published in 1886.
