Georges Le Faure (French pronunciation: [ʒɔʁʒ lə fɔʁ] ⓘ; 12 June 1856 – 25 May 1953) was a French writer who authored many popular novels, including early examples of science fiction.[1][2] Born into poverty, he had a long writing career in many genres, including cinema.[1] Among his best-known works is Les Aventures extraordinaires d'un savant russe, written with Henry de Graffigny.[1][3] This multi-volume work follows a group of French and Russian astronauts as they explore the moon, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter.[4] With its space travel and popularisation of science, it shows the influence of Jules Verne and anticipates Hard science fiction.[5][6]
