33,94 €
In a deluxe collector&rsquo s edition, four classic science fiction novels from the genre&rsquo s most transformative decade&mdash including the landmark Flowers for Algernon This volume, the first of a two-volume set gathering the best American science fiction from the tumultuous 1960s, opens with Poul Anderson&rsquo s immensely popular The High Crusade, in which aliens planning to conquer Earth land in Lincolnshire during the Hundred Years&rsquo War. In Clifford Simak&rsquo s Hugo Award-winning Way Station, Enoch Wallace is a spry 124-year-old Civil War veteran whose lifelong job monitoring the intergalactic pit stop inside his home is largely uneventful&mdash until a CIA agent shows up and Cold War hostilities threaten the peaceful harmony of the Galactic confederation. Daniel Keyes&rsquo s beloved Flowers for Algernon&mdash winner of the Nebula Award and adapted as the Academy Award-winning movie Charly&mdash is told through the journal entries of Charlie Gordon, a young man with severe learning disabilities who is the test subject for surgery to improve his intelligence. And in the postapocalyptic earthscape of Roger Zelazny&rsquo s Hugo Award-winning . . . And Call Me Conrad (also published as This Immortal) Conrad Nomikos reluctantly accepts the responsibility of showing the planet to the governing extraterrestrials&rsquo representative and protecting him from rebellious remnants of the human race. Using early manuscripts and original setting copy, this Library of America volume restores the novel to a version that most closely approximates Zelazny&rsquo s original text.
