Autorenporträt
Edwin Lester Linden Arnold (1857–1935) was a British author primarily known for his foray into science fiction and adventure genres. With a literary style that often featured exotic locales and fantastical elements reminiscent of the works of his more famous contemporary, H.G. Wells, Arnold carved a unique niche for himself with a blend of romantic adventure and early speculative fiction. His notable work, 'Gulliver of Mars', originally published in 1905, precedes the more well-known 'John Carter of Mars' series by Edgar Rice Burroughs and has been cited as an influence on Burroughs' Martian tales. Arnold's 'Gulliver of Mars', also known as 'Lieut. Gullivar Jones: His Vacation', presents a pioneering narrative in the planetary romance subgenre that weaves the story of an American naval officer's adventures on Mars, tackling themes of interplanetary travel and the exploration of alien civilizations. Although his work did not achieve the same level of acclaim during his lifetime as some of his peers, Arnold's contributions to the emergence of science fiction as a genre have been recognized by scholars and enthusiasts for their imaginative scope and innovative ideas that challenged the boundaries of early 20th-century literature.
