Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton, PC (1803 - 1873) .

Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton, PC (1803 - 1873) was an English novelist, poet, playwright and politician. He was immensely popular with the reading public and wrote a stream of bestselling novels which earned him a considerable fortune. Lytton's book was the foundation of the Vril Society in Germany, which was created by 3 psychic women, and actually channeled the scientific knowledge to build successful flying saucers (really levitating saucers). Bulwer-Lytton has an undeserved reputation as a bad writer, but he is a wonderful storyteller who created a lot of the best-known phrases we still use today.

Vril" is a mysterious energy used by Lytton's subterranean race - refugees from the deluge that submerged Atlantis - to power their advanced civilization. Generations of occultists have mistaken this bit of business for something other than fiction; and still more generations of science fiction writers have recycled the novel's plot. Vril is a book of strong interest to anyone doing a scholarly study of the evolution of SF; it's also a novel well worth reading in its own right.

It’s interesting because it actually comes from Bulwer-Lytton’s 1871 novel Vril, the Power of the Coming Race, otherwise known simply as The Coming Race. It’s a short book, very much like Willis George Emerson’s 1908 novel The Smoky God. It tells of an adventure into the cavernous Hollow Earth, where an antediluvian civilization lives peacefully, driven by a mysterious source of power called vril.
