- Stefan Wul
Stefan Wul was the "nom de plume" of French
science fiction writer Pierre Pairault (27 March 1922 –26 November 2003 ). He was adental surgeon , but science fiction was his real passion. Most of his books reflect that, showing a deep knowledge of scientific data. Pairault retired from dental surgery in 1989, but remained active in the French science fiction scene.He published eleven novels between 1956 and 1959 and a twelfth in 1977. Only one, "Le Temple du Passé" (1957), was translated into English, as "The Temple of the Past" in 1973. His fame outside of French-speaking countries is instead due the animated adaptations of two of his novels by
René Laloux .Bibliography
