Edward George Earle Bulwer-Lytton

I våra dagar är den stora 1800-talsförfattaren Bulwer-Lytton mest ihågkommen för vril eller den kommande rasen från 1871. Här skildras i enlighet med dåtidens intresse för exotiska utopier ett nedstigande i jordens inre där en helt främmande människoart har byggt ett fantastiskt samhälle, drivet av den mystiska vrilkraften. Inte minst är vril intressant för den kult den omgivits av långt efter att den skrevs. Olika grupper, från Madame Blavat­s­kys teosofer fram till ockultistiska nazister, tog den utopiska äventyrsromanen som en sann berättelse och sökte på allvar efter vrilkraften. Även Thomas Pynchon har grävt i den ihåliga jorden-teorin i sina romaner. KG Johansson har gjort den första moderna svenska översättningen av vril.
