George Griffith

    George Griffith bol britský autor sci-fi a cestovateľ, ktorého vizionárske príbehy sa objavovali v časopisoch aj ako romány. Hoci mu chýbala vedecká presnosť a literárna uhladenosť, jeho diela to vynahradili ohromujúcou vervou. Jeho revolučné a socialistické názory mu síce nepriniesli uznanie v USA, ale vo Veľkej Británii bol veľmi populárny. Griffithov štýl je plný elánu a neuveriteľnej energie.
