Edward Bulwer-Lytton

    25. Mai 1803 – 18. Jänner 1873

    Dieser englische Romanautor und Dramatiker war zu seiner Zeit ein blumiger und populärer Schriftsteller. Sein Werk zeichnet sich durch eine reiche Sprache und geschickten Ausdruck aus, und er prägte viele Wendungen, die seitdem gebräuchlich sind. Sein literarischer Stil hinterließ einen unauslöschlichen Eindruck, und sein Einfluss reicht von der Literatur bis in die Alltagssprache.

      Vril: Síla přicházející rasy

      Tento příběh na pomezí sci-fi a mystiky byl napsán v roce 1871. V Anglii, zemi svého autora, nebo vůbec na Západě obecně, vyšel v desítkách vydání. V češtině pouze jednou ve dvacátých letech. Vracíme ho na trh, protože je více než zajímavý. Popisuje setkání mladého muže s podzemní civilizací vyvinutých bytostí ovládajících tajemnou sílu VRIL. Kniha má zajímavé konotace - slovo vril se později stalo jménem německé okultní tajné společnosti (Společnost Vril, německy Vril-Gesellschaft), která podle některých badatelů hrála zásadní roli ve vzestupu nacismu a nadpřirozenými prostředky se v nacistické éře podílela na vývoji inovativních leteckých technologií.
