Very Scarce Early Book By German Science Fiction/Utopian Literature Pioneer Kurd Lasswitz (1848-1910). "As The First Major Sf Writer In German, He Holds The Same Place In Germany As Do H. G. Wells In England And Jules Verne In France. He Taught Philosophy For Many Years At The Gymnasium Ernestinium In Gotha, And It Is Symptomatic Of 19Th-Century Gerrman Intellectual Culture That He Irradiated His Fiction With Theoretical Speculation; There Is Not Kl Fiction Without A Lesson.... William N. Fischer Claims On Kl's Behalf That Many Of His Ideas Directly Prefigure Later Critics' Use Of Terms Like 'Extrrapolation' And 'Analogue'...The Seriousness Of His Didactic Impulse Can Be Seen In The Strong Emphasis He Places In His Fiction On Establishing A Plausible Imaginary World Whose Hypothetical Nature Will Be Governed, And Given Verisimilitude, By Resemblance To… Read More
