Daniil Alexandrovich Granin (born Daniil Alexandrovich German) was an author born in the former Soviet Union. He started writing in the 1930s when he was still an engineering student at the Leningrad Polytechnical Institute. After completing his graduation Granin began working as a senior engineer at an energy laboratory and soon after the war broke out, he volunteered as a soldier.
One of the first widely praised works of Granin was a short story about graduate students, titled Second Varient. It was published in the journal Zvezda in 1949. Granin continued to study engineering and working as a technical writer until success knocked on the door in the form of Those Who Seek; a novel inspired from his life as an engineer. The book talked about the overly bureaucratic Soviet system which tended to stifle new ideas.
Granin has worked as a board member in the Leningrad Union of Writers and is a winner of many medals and honors including the State Prize for Literature in 1978.

Очень понравилась эта история Даниила Гранина о Василии Петрове, этом великом учёным, который несмотря на величайшее на то время открытие не стремился к популярности и славе. Он действительно подобен Прометею, который принёс на землю огонь. Он первым аж в далёком 1802 году открыл явление электрической дуги и провёл множество испытаний с ней.
Благодаря подобным людям человечество имеет возможность преждевременно получать множество технологических благ, которые облегчают их жизнь, работу и быт.
Очень прискорбно, что государство не оценило его по достоинству и совсем позабыло о его великом достижении. Человека, который должен стоять в одном ряду с такими учёными как Ньютон, Фарадей, Вольт, Тесла и многие другие учёные даже портрета не осталось... прискорбно очень как то...
