Libro Original o primera edición
Hardcover. Condición: Fair. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. 1st Edition. First published as a collected edition in 1963, this is a sixth impression of 1975. Ex library with usual stamps and defects. Edge wear to top and bottom of classic Gollancz yellow jacket and spine, corners bruised, spine slightly faded, some indentations to back jacket, jacket slightly stretched. Not price clipped (£3.00), no personal inscriptions, internally clean, tightish and square, overall a good reading copy. 245pp. A varied collection of stories. There are tales set in the world of today, among them 'I Remember Babylon', which suggests satirically and all too plausibly how at this very moment our enemies may be scheming to destroy our morale with the help of communication satellites like Telstar. 'Hate, a powerful and dramatic account of something that might happen the next time a Russian is sent into orbit. Then there are stories which concern the world of a decade or a century hence, terrifyingly, as in 'Summertime on Icarus', or touchingly as in 'Out of the Cradle, Endlessly Orbiting' or amusingly, as in 'An Ape About the House', or ironically as in 'Death and the Senator'. But perhaps Arthur Clarke (1917-2008), is at his impressive best when he projects his imagination into a future almost inconceivably remote. 'The Road to the Sea' is a poetic, haunting and visionary novella about mankind six thousand years hence, as original and prophetic a piece of work as has been published in the field. Quite scarce, even in this later ex library example.
