It is with a very special personal satisfaction that I offer here, translated into French for the first time, the book by Narciso Genovese “Yo he estado en Marte” (“I Have Been to Mars”).
To my knowledge, there were four editions of the original Spanish-language book; I own three of them, plus the German translation. I had to use all of them to arrive at this French version, because in each of the original editions I found printing errors, typos, and even full missing sentences.
As for the German translation, it helped me understand some passages that were otherwise incomprehensible. However, I must point out that this German version seems to cut corners throughout the text. I don’t know if that’s due to a linguistic issue, but the translation appeared to me to lack serious rigor.
As for me, you can be assured that I did everything possible to stay as true as possible to the original text and the author’s way of expressing himself.
I hope that the revelations contained in this book will delight you and help you better understand things.
For now, it’s available in french and spanish, but soon I will prepare an english version.
After a long deliberation, it was unanimously decided to make known in this book the existence of this scientific institution, its goals, its principles, and some of its accomplishments, in order to relieve humanity of the nervous tension and fear provoked by those who dedicate themselves not to reconstruction, but to the degradation of nature—and worse still, for purely destructive purposes. The inhabitants of Mars have visited us, continue to visit us, and collaborate with us for a better world. Dedicated to the citizens of the world, to those who thirst for peace, unity, and brotherhood, to those who aspire to a world without borders, to those who strive to eliminate war, to those who worship God.
Narciso Genovese
Samael Aun Weor on the subject
On October 12, 1956, at exactly noon, the most important space event of all time took place on the face of the Earth, since the coming of our Lord the Christ. One of the most distinguished members of this scientific society, the very illustrious Mr. Narciso Genovese, tells us that at that precise moment, the Columbus Expedition to the planet Mars began. Most of the information about this scientific expedition to Mars we owe to Mr. Narciso Genovese. If this letter reaches him, we send him our congratulations.
