La strada dell'eternità

fb2
Jay Corcoran e Tom Boone sono amici da anni e in certe occasioni formano una coppia perfetta. Jay è un esperto nel raccogliere informazioni su chiunque, e Tom sa girare dietro gli angoli anche quando non ci sono. La scoperta di una stanza che non esiste sarà solo il punto di partenza ideale per un viaggio destinato a scaraventare i due amici in un'avventura ambientata nel più lontano passato e nel più remoto futuro. Incontreranno così una strana famiglia di esiliati che include il bizzarro Henry, detto anche Fantasma (ma non fatevi sentire a chiamarlo in questo modo dagli altri membri della famiglia), il Popolo dell'arcobaleno, che possiede oscure risposte ad ancora più oscure domande, l'ambigua figura nota come Cappello, messaggero di forze sconosciute e al tempo stesso giocattolo di un lupo preistorico, e soprattutto gli Infiniti, che vogliono tramutare l'uomo in una intelligenza priva di corpo. Il tutto, fra robot che vogliono essere utili all'uomo, e lungo quella che è chiamata la Strada dell'eternità.
Les fleurs pourpres

fb2
Millville. Une petite bourgade sans histoires, quelque part aux Etats-Unis.On s’y souvenait encore du jour où on avait dû faire appel aux pompiers pour récupérer le chat de Grand-Maman Jones sur le toit du patronage, de celui où le vieux Papy Andrews était tombé dans la rivière. Voilà les événements qui avaient marqué la vie de notre ville. De ma ville. Mais cela, c’était avant…Avant l’irruption dans mon jardin de Tupper, l’idiot du village, nu comme au jour de sa naissance et dix ans après sa disparition. Avant que l’on parle d’arbres à dollars ou de machines à voir le passé. Avant que j’apprenne concrètement l’existence des mondes parallèles. Autrement dit avant les Fleurs pourpres…
Mr. Meek Plays Polo

fb2
Mr. Meek was having his troubles. First, the educated bugs worried him; then the welfare worker tried to stop the Ring Rats’ feud by enlisting his aid. And now, he was a drafted space-polo player—a fortune bet on his ability at a game he had never played in his cloistered life.

Spacebred Generations

fb2
Here at last is a different science-fiction story. Imagine a space ark launched from the Earth seeking another star system. The space ark is in transit for over 1,000 years, during which time the several thousand occupants are permanently imprisoned. What will be the sociological and other effects on these travelers? How will they live? What are the implications of time and isolation on their behavior, their lives, their thoughts, and their beliefs? Clifford D. Simak has painted a most daring yet logical picture of this situation. It is one of those rare stories that will start you thinking, and that you will remember.
Stacja tranzytowa

fb2
„Stacja tranzytowa” jest powszechnie uważana za arcydzieło gatunku i najwybitniejsze dzieło w bogatym dorobku wielkiego pisarza. Kunszt Simaka sprawia, iż wierzymy w to, że stara, prowincjonalna chałupa, może być centrum wszechświata, że przybysze z innym galaktyk pojawiają się na zapuszczonych podwórkach.
The Asteroid of Gold

fb2
…The last story to appear from Simak in those early days was “The Asteroid of Gold”. Here you have a chance to compare a story written by a twenty-seven year old Simak, with his latest science fantasy novels, written in his late sixties. In essence Simak has turned full circle in his writings, but has never lost that basic appeal.
