Georges Le Faure

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. Born into poverty, he had a long writing career in many genres, including cinema. Among his best-known works is Les Aventures extraordinaires d'un savant russe, written with Henry de Graffigny. This multi-volume work follows a group of French and Russian astronauts as they explore the moon, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. With its space travel and popularisation of science, it shows the influence of Jules Verne and anticipates Hard science fiction.

On 2 January 1906, le Faure married pianist and composer Magdeleine Boucherit.
