The World Peril of 1910 (Esprios Classics) - George Griffith - Bog

Bag om The World Peril of 1910 (Esprios Classics)

George Griffith (1857-1906), full name George Chetwynd Griffith-Jones, was a prolific British science fiction writer and noted explorer who wrote during the late Victorian and Edwardian age. Many of his visionary tales appeared in magazines such as Pearson's Magazine and Pearson's Weekly before being published as novels. Griffith was extremely popular in the United Kingdom, though he failed to find similar acclaim in the United States, in part due to his utopian socialist views. A journalist, rather than a scientist, by background, what his stories lack in scientific rigour and literary grace they make up for in sheer exuberance of execution. The Angel of the Revolution: A Tale of the Coming Terror (1893) remains his best and most famous work.
