City and Stars. The End of Childhood
19.99 €
The collection includes two works by Arthur C. Clarke: "The City and the Stars" and "Childhood's End" Diaspar - the city of the future, whose inhabitants are protected from the harsh deserts of the dying Earth, happy and prosperous. They are immortal - and therefore think neither of the past nor of the future. Liz, a valley also safely protected from the poisonous tentacles of the deserts by high mountains, is home to a very different people. Unlike the Diasparians, they are mortal, and they have not lost their human feelings - mutual aid, love, unity with nature - but they are often distrustful of outsiders, being telepathic. And the young man Olwyn, who will have to unite two such different cultures ... "Childhood's End" - a novel that Arthur C. Clarke considered one of his main successes. A book that inspired the screenwriters of "Independence Day" and "Babylon 5". Giant alien ships hover over the world's largest capitals. Representatives of another world - Super Rulers - force the earthlings to make a deal: from now on they will take care of the prosperity of mankind in return for a ban on space exploration... What will happen to mankind, who refused its aspiration to Space? And - will it be able to do it?
