About this person
He was the most widely read author during the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries, according to literary critic Jovan Skerlić. Science fiction and crime novel-writing at the beginning of the 20th century was not considered a literary pursuit, and as time passed he was forgotten until the 1970s when his works were revived. He was a contemporary of Jules Verne, Camille Flammarion, and H. G. Wells.
