Aldiss) IF I FORGET YOU, O EARTH … (Arthur C. Clarke) Night (John W. Campbell) This bundle was compiled by noted science fiction writer BRIAN ALDISS. Especially for this book he selected the best stories from his own oeuvre and work out of equally well known and acclaimed fellow authors as JACK VANCE, ARTHUR CLARKE, PHILIP k. DICK, r. a. LAFFERTY, HENRY KUTTNER and many others. Each s.f.-enthusiast knows these authors, and know that their involvement in the reader the very striking stories compelling calls that distinguishes reading a good science-fiction story. Some of the chapters, written by Campbell, Stockham, Clarke and some others, date from a period when the science-fiction not yet took the place that they today, fortunately, and therefore only were read by a relatively small group of gourmets. The masterpieces, which are still on our contemporary civilization and the distant future cover-or could have-and they were well worth it for that reason alone in this bundle. For the lover of good s.f. Highly recommended by BRIAN ALDISS.
