Gustave Le Rouge

    Gustave Le Rouge byl francouzský autor, který stál na počátku moderní science fiction. Jeho díla se odklonila od pouhých dobrodružství a začlenila vědecké poznatky, čímž propojil styl Julesa Vernea s hlubším zkoumáním Wellsiana. Le Rouge obohatil své příběhy o ztracené světy, inteligentní civilizace a kosmické hrůzy, čímž vytvořil jedinečné světy plné fantazie i intelektuální provokace. Jeho mistrovská díla zachycují směsici dobrodružství, hororu a sociálních komentářů, která dodnes fascinuje čtenáře.
