Modern science fiction came of age in the 1950s, and it was in America that the genre broke most exuberantly free from convention. Moving beyond the pulp magazines, science fiction writers stretched their imaginations at novel length, ushering in an era of stylistic experiment and freewheeling speculation that responded in wildly inventive ways to the challenges and perplexities of an era of global threat and rapid technological change. Long unnoticed or dismissed by the literary establishment, these “outsider” novels are now recognized as American classics.This, the first of two volumes surveying the decade’s peaks, presents four very different visions of uncertain futures and malleable selves. Frederik Pohl and C. M. Kornbluth’s The Space Merchants (1953), acclaimed in its day by Kingsley Amis as “the best science fiction novel so far,” brought a ferocious, satiric edge to its depiction of a future world dominated by multinational advertising agencies. In Theodore Sturgeon’s More Than Human (1953), a group of damaged individuals finds a strange new fulfillment in what may be the next stage of evolution.Leigh Brackett was one of the first women to make her mark as a science fiction novelist. In The Long Tomorrow (1955), she pits anti-urban technophobes against the remnants of a civilization that destroyed itself through nuclear war. The hero of Richard Matheson’s fable-like The Shrinking Man (1956), condemned to grow ever smaller by a mysterious cloud, moves through humiliations and perils toward what Peter Straub calls “a real surprise . . . a fresh, wide-eyed step into a world both beautiful and new.”Here are four classic novels that, each in a different way, open fresh territory, broaching untried possibilities and brimming with the energies of an age fearfully conscious of standing on the brink of the unknown.

Neuübersetzung von mehreren Werken, darunter „The Golden Helix“, „Mr. Costello, Hero“, „Bianca's Hands“, „The Skills of Xanadu“, „The Sex Opposite“, „It“, „A Way of Thinking“ und „The Man Who Lost the Sea“.

Jak se zachovat, když se na zahradě znenadání objeví skutečný bůh? Co počít, když doma přechováváte duši mrtvého? A co dělat, když se probudíte a zjistíte, že jste omylem procitli o den později? A co teprve, když se dozvíte, že dívku, kterou milujete, střeží žárlivý duch…? Dvanáct povídek navozuje ty nejnepravděpo­dobnější situace, téměř surrealistické vize, jejichž rozuzlení je šokující, jindy varovné, někdy zábavné a někdy také plné smutku a zoufalství…

Con la scomparsa di Theodore Sturgeon avvenuta l'otto maggio 1985, la fantascienza ha perduto uno dei suoi maestri più illustri. Udita la prima volta nel 1939, la sua voce di grande stilista era divenuta ben presto la presenza più stimolante e più ricca di umanità dell'intera letteratura fantastica e fantascientifica. Questa antologia, che ospita due romanzi brevi e tre racconti - tutti inediti - apparsi fra il 1951 e il 1955 costituisce il primo doveroso tributo che URANIA intende porgergli. Indice: Estrapolazione (Extrapolation, 1953) Il prezzo dell'amore (The Wage of Symergy, 1953) Fate spazio (Make Room for Me, 1951) Il cuore (The Heart, 1953) Mondo d'incubi (The Incubi of Parallel X, 1951) Copertina di Karel Thole
