A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

George Chetwynd Griffith-Jones (August 20, 1857 - June 4, 1906) was a British author. He was mostly engaged in the science fiction genre, or scientific romance as it was known at the time, writing many future-war novels and playing a crucial influence in molding that burgeoning subgenre. For a brief period of time, he was the most popular and commercially successful science fiction author in his home nation. Griffith grew up with his parents and older brother, receiving homeschooling and moving frequently as a result of his father's minister vocation. Griffith attended school for a little more than a year after his father died when he was 14 years old before leaving England and traveling the world, returning at the age of 19. He subsequently taught for ten years before embarking on a writing career. After an initial setback that left Griffith unable to support himself, C. Arthur Pearson employed him in 1890. Griffith made his literary debut with The Angel of the Revolution (1893), which was serialized in Pearson's Weekly before being published as a book. He got an exclusive contract with Pearson and followed it up with the equally successful sequel Olga Romanoff (1894).
