About the author

Born on February 23, 1880, in Rosenberg, West Prussia, Artur Fürst was a German-Jewish author of novels and short stories. Sources describe him as one of the more popular writers of the 1910s and 1920s.

Science and technology stood at the center of his fiction. His stories and novels are associated with the great inventions and upheavals of modern life, including the telephone, the railway, and aviation, which gave his work a strong sense of movement and contemporary curiosity.

Fürst died on May 13, 1926. Although he is not as widely known today, his writing offers a vivid glimpse of how early twentieth-century readers imagined progress, discovery, and the future.
