René Barjavel

René Barjavel was born in Nyons, in the Drôme, on 24 January 1911. A journalist and critic, he was one of the first French science-fiction novelists: a book he published during the war is held to be the first novel to set out the paradox of the traveller who, going back in time, kills his own ancestor. After the war, he worked for the cinema as a screenwriter, notably on the sequel to the adventures of Don Camillo. He died in Paris on 24 November 1985.
