I just impulse purchased this interesting looking French language book science fiction book published in 1888. I don't know if any of you would be interested in doing a translation but I thought I'd ask!
Alternately I suppose I could just submit it to Project Gutenberg and see if anyone over there is interested. Thoughts? Does anyone know of a translation?
Thanks!

Voyage Dans La Planète Vénus by Charles Guyon;
This precurser of C.S. Lewis' Perelandra has apparently never been translated into English. The opening setting (Chicago), the hero (an American named Madison), and other aspects of the novel (the first hot air balloon we encounter is called 'The Franklin') show the overt pro-American slant of this charming Jules Verne-like science fiction/fantasy novel. Madison and friends travel to Venus thanks to multiple hot-air balloons, but Madison is killed fighting to bring freedom to a Venusian tribe.
