Goldmann's science fiction
Goldmann's science fiction was in Wilhelm Goldmann Verlag published in Munich 1960 to 1967 science fiction - book series .
Herbert W. Franke was formally the editor of the series, but actually had little influence on the selection of titles and essentially acted as a scientific advisor. Since "Science Fiction" was not yet considered to be a common genre term in Germany in 1960 , the term "Zukunftsroman" was chosen, although a considerable number of the titles were not novels, but rather collections of short stories. The titles were published both as bound editions and as paperback editions, the bound edition being DM 2.80 more expensive each .
In the series appeared from the then still wide range of untranslated Anglo-Saxon science fiction novels and short stories by Poul Anderson , James Blish , John Brunner , Arthur C. Clarke , Daniel F. Galouye , Robert A. Heinlein , Clifford D. Simak and as representatives of German science fiction six volumes by Herbert W. Franke. Originally, a significant part of the editions was sold to city , company and lending libraries , but with the advent of the paperback series, the series became unprofitable, so that from number 51 onwards only hardcover editions of titles published in Goldmanns Weltraum paperbacks were produced. In 1967 the series was then discontinued.
Translators in the series were among others:
- Heinz Bingenheimer ,
- Iris and Rolf Hellmut Foerster ,
- Lothar Heinecke ,
- Hans-Ulrich Nichau and
- Tony Westermayr.
44 titles in the series alone were translated by Tony Westermayr.
