...when he plotted Revolutionist Getulio Vargas into power, until 1944, when he nimbly jumped from the dictatorial train before it crashed, Aranha has turned his brain and famous smile to practically every important task that Brazilian public life offers.

...mushrooming "Science City" on Oxford Street without a fearful glance through the fence to see whether the men from Mars have arrived. Yet little more than a hoarse shout away from the Home of Secret Weapons is an underground room where precautions are just as stringent.

The rest of his fiction includes only a dozen short stories, written before World War I and long out of print in the U.S. They have now been collected in one volume for the first time. Old as they are, they...
