Sobre este artículo

London: The Science Fiction Book Club By Arrangement With Faber & Faber. Very Good- in Very Good- dust jacket. 1961. 1st Book Club Edition. Original boards. With some foxing to edges and a few pages. Dustjacket in protective plastic cover. Slight wear to spine, covers, corners & dustjacket. ; GPT"The Canopy of Time" (also published as "Galaxies Like Grains of Sand") by Brian Aldiss is a collection of interlinked short stories that span billions of years, presenting a grand tapestry of humanity's future evolution and its interactions with the cosmos. Each story, while distinct, contributes to a cohesive narrative arc that explores themes of time, civilization's rise and fall, and human adaptability. Aldiss masterfully combines speculative science with deep philosophical questions, considering not just the technological advances of future societies but also their cultural, social, and ethical dimensions. From the dawn of humanity's expansion into space to the far reaches of its future descendants, the stories contemplate the cyclical nature of history and the persistent human traits that endure through ages. Aldiss's prose is both lyrical and precise, capturing the awe of the cosmic scale while remaining grounded in the personal and the intimate. "The Canopy of Time" is a reflective work, offering a poignant meditation on humanity's place in the universe. ; 19 x 13 x 2.1 cms; 222 pages .
