RENE BARJAVEL
Συγγραφέας, κριτικός και σεναριογράφος, δημοσιογράφος. Ο Ρενέ Μπαρζαβέλ (Rene Barjavel, 1911-1985) είναι κορυφαία μορφή της γαλλικής επιστημονικής φαντασίας. Ήταν ο πρώτος που σκέφτηκε το περίφημο «grandfather paradox», τη λογική αντίφαση που ενυπάρχει στην ιδέα του ταξιδιού στον χρόνο ή της πρόγνωσης του μέλλοντος. Το έργο του, η δημοτικότητα του οποίου παραμένει αμείωτη ως σήμερα, εστιάζει στην κατάρρευση του πολιτισμού εξαιτίας της τεχνοκρατικής ύβρεως και του παραλογισμού του πολέμου, αλλά και στη διάρκεια της αγάπης μέσα στον χρόνο. Έγραψε, μεταξύ άλλων, τα μυθιστορήματα Le grand secret, L'Enchanteur, Les Chemins de Katmandou και Ravage. Η γραφή του είναι ποιητική, ονειρική και συχνά φιλοσοφική, ενώ θεωρείται ένας από τους πρώιμα ευαισθητοποιημένους σε θέματα περιβάλλοντος.
Γεννήθηκε στη Νιόν, μια πόλη στο νομό Ντρόμ στη νοτιοανατολική Γαλλία.
