An immortal race of inhabitants on "Hesperos" (Venus) live cyclical lives: they grow old, grow young, then grow old again--with no reproduction, and no disease or death from natural causes. The planet's hundred million inhabitants arrived all at once on the planet from somewhere else; if an individual's suffering reaches a certain level he simply vanishes and reappears at the planet's temperate South Pole; the northern and southern hemispheres of the planet are separated by a permanent wide belt of hurricane at the equator, impassable except by submarine.
This Elibron Classics title is a reprint of the original edition published by Kegan Paul, Trench, & Co., 1882, London
