Recenzii

"This may be the single-author collection of the decade, even though the decade has barely begun . . . If the term 'sense of wonder' didn't exist, it would now have to be invented to describe what Clarke's majestic narratives evoke."--"Booklist" (Starred Review)

"With his awesome inventiveness, sure grasp of scientific principle, readability, openness, and utter lack of viciousness or meanness, it's easy to understand why Clarke became the single most famous and influential non-American SF writer of the post-WWII period. If you are unacquainted with Clarke--possible, though barely--begin here at once. If you're old friends: Browse. Enjoy. Wonder."--"Kirkus Reviews"

"Arthur C. Clarke is one of the truly prophetic figures of the space age . . . the colossus of science fiction."--"The New Yorker"

"He is the prophet of the space age."--"Times of London"

"Nobody has done more in the way of enlightened prediction than Arthur C. Clarke."--Isaac Asimov

"Arthur C. Clarke is one of the true geniuses of our time."--Ray Bradbury

"One of the most astounding imaginations ever encountered in print."--"The New York Times"

Notă biografică

Born in Minehead, Somerset in 1917, Arthur C. Clarke is perhaps the most celebrated science fiction author alive today. He is the author of more than sixty books with more than 50 million copies in print, and the winner of all the field's highest honors. He was named Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America in 1986.
In 1945 he published the technical paper "Extra-terrestrial Relays," which in essence invented the principle of worldwide communication via geosynchronous satellite.
His well-known novels include "Childhood's End; Against the Fall of Knight; 2001: A Space Odyssey; Rendezvous with Rama; Imperial Earth; The Fountains of Paradise; 2010: Odyssey Two; 2061: Odyssey Three, "and "3001." In 1968, he collaborated with director Stanley Kubrick on the screenplay for the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was derived from his story "The Sentinel."
He has lived in Colombo, Sri Lanka since 1956. He was awarded the CBE in 1989 and knighted in 1998.
