This Masterworks of Adventure anthology is a collection of 40 tales considered to be among the best and most influential works. We started with 333: A Bibliography of the Science-Fantasy Novel, by Crawford, Donahue and Grant (1953), which lists the best works published before 1950, then cross-referenced them with Science-fiction, the Early Years by Everett Franklin Bleiler, Stuart Teitler's By the World Forgot: Towards a Bibliography of Lost Race Fiction from 1800, and Jessica Amanda Salmonson's Lost Race Checklist, the ultimate checklist for collectors. You'll find stories told in a variety of styles: travelogues, boy's adventure, romantic adventure, philosophical adventure and pulp fiction.
