Childhood's End

De: Arthur C. Clarke

Narrado por: Greg Wagland

When the silent spacecraft arrived and took the light from the world, no one knew what to expect. When the Overlords finally showed themselves it was a shock but one that humankind could now cope with, and an era of peace, prosperity and endless leisure began. But the children of this utopia dream strange dreams of distant suns and alien planets, and soon they will be ready to join the Overmind...and, in a grand and thrilling metaphysical climax, leave Earth behind.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"There has been nothing like it for years." (C. S. Lewis)

"The Colossus of Science Fiction." ( New York Times)

Best Sci Fi Ever

I really enjoyed this masterpiece! The deep reflections following a curious enough storytelling were mind blowing.

I will not reveal the story itself, but for me it was all about life purpose, and how small we are.

I will now read all Clarke’s books until the last word!

At lost for words

Much like my 9-year old stated post-conclusion, this story leaves one a little spent and wordless...not due to an absence of feelings, but rather overwhelmed by the the mix of feelings one is left with to distangle. One of Clark's best efforts.
