Stanley G. Weinbaum's novel, The Red Peri, is a true gem of early science fiction literature. First published in 1935, The Red Peri follows the adventures of a group of survivors who witness a mysterious red mist enveloping the Earth, leading to a series of cataclysmic events. Weinbaum's writing style is characterized by vivid descriptions of futuristic technology and a keen understanding of human nature under extreme circumstances. The novel's narrative structure and engaging plot make it a standout work in the Golden Age of science fiction. Stanley G. Weinbaum, a visionary writer ahead of his time, was known for his innovative and imaginative storytelling. His background in engineering and science heavily influenced his writing, allowing him to create worlds that were not only fantastical but also plausible. The Red Peri reflects Weinbaum's fascination with the unknown and his desire to push the boundaries of traditional science fiction.

Autorenporträt

Stanley Grauman Weinbaum (1902 - 1935) was an American science fiction writer. His first story, "A Martian Odyssey", was published to great acclaim in July 1934, but he died from lung cancer less than a year and a half later. He is best known for the groundbreaking science fiction short story, "A Martian Odyssey", which presented a sympathetic but decidedly non-human alien, Tweel. Even more remarkably, this was his first science fiction story (in 1933 he had sold a romantic novel, The Lady Dances, to King Features Syndicate, which serialized the story in its newspapers in early 1934). Isaac Asimov has described "A Martian Odyssey" as "a perfect Campbellian science fiction story, before John W. Campbell. Indeed, Tweel may be the first creature in science fiction to fulfil Campbell's dictum, 'write me a creature who thinks as well as a man, or better than a man, but not like a man'." Asimov went on to describe it as one of only three stories that changed the way all subsequent ones in the science fiction genre were written. It is the oldest short story (and one of the top vote-getters) selected by the Science Fiction Writers of America for inclusion in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One, 1929-1964.
