I have been wondering about the earliest translations of Western Sci-Fi into Urdu and as luck would have it Rashid Ashraf is familiar with some of the title. Here are a few that he shared with me.
War of the Worlds by H.G.Wells(Translation 1975)
The Flying Saucer by Ronald Deadman
The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells
Around the World in 80 days by Jules Verne (1959 translation)
The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle
Five weeks in a Balloon by Jules Verne (Translation 1959)
Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne (Translation 1968)
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
The First Man on the Moon by H.G.Wells (Translation 1969)
Many thanks to Rashid Ashraf for providing the covers.
Islam and Science Fiction is a website on all things related to Islam, Muslims and Science Fiction and everything in between.The exploration of Islam and Science Fiction is from a cultural and social perspective, from a cultural and civilizational sense. A more appropriate term would be Marshall Hodgson's Islamicate. Thus this site is a compendium of novels, short stories, novellas, movies etc which either has Islamic themes or have Muslim characters.
