The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke

De: Arthur C. Clarke

Narrado por: Ralph Lister, Ray Porter, Jonathan Davis

Author of the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novels Rendezvous with Rama and The Fountains of Paradise along with such memorable novels as Childhood's End, Sir Arthur C. Clarke was - with Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein - one of the writers who defined the classic era of science fiction. From early work like "Rescue Party" and "The Lion of Comarre" through classic stories including "The Star", "Earthlight", "The Nine Billion Names of God", and "The Sentinel" (kernel of the later novel and movie 2001: A Space Odyssey), all the way to later work like "A Meeting with Medusa" and "The Hammer of God", this comprehensive short story collection encapsulates one of the great science fiction careers of all time.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrator Ralph Lister makes Arthur C. Clarke come alive in the foreword to this collection.... [Narrator Jonathan] Davis's portrayals of uptight Captain Grant and casual Engineer McNeil are perfect... In 'All The Time in the World,' a story that led to Clarke's first television program, narrator Ray Porter is masterful in his handling of text and dialogue.... Listeners will find these classic stories fascinating and timeless." ( AudioFile)

A marvelous treat!

I've been reading sci-fi and fantasy most of my life, but never got around to reading much Clark (I blame my dislike for the movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey). What can I say? This collection blew me away. His storytelling prowess is astounding, and his skill with the short story form is nothing short of masterful.

Ah immortal genius

Great science fiction by a great mind of the XX century. Wonderful stories to laugh, think or cry about.

Wonderful again

I read most of these when I was younger and it was great to revisit these stories! I did find a few new gems, Well worth the 1 credit.

Classic Clarke

A wonderful collection of tales ranging the gamut of sci-fi. so good to hear Summertime On Icarus. A favorite from times gone by. You cannot go wrong with this collection.

I love the historical flow of the older items from far-fetched science fiction to the new technology developing what are now common place items.
