Pour les hommes du XXIe siècle, l’Univers, semble-t-il, n’a plus guère de secrets. Délivrés de la pesanteur, ils le sillonnent à bord de leurs vaisseaux spatiaux, en utilisant comme relais des satellites artificiels. Et pourtant un phénomène intrigue ces savants, ces techniciens, ces astronautes de l’an 2001. Quelque part du côté d’un satellite de Saturne, on a localisé une source de radiation extraordinairement puissante. Un vaisseau part pour cette mission ultra-secrète, emportant à son bord un équipage dont une partie est en état d’hibernation, et aussi Carl, Carl 9000, le prodigieux cerveau électronique qui, tout à la fois, est le navigateur, l’interlocuteur, voire le partenaire aux échecs de ces hommes. Cette fantastique odyssée va entraîner l’Explorateur I et son équipage jusqu’à découvrir peut-être les origines et le mystère de la vie dans l’univers en même temps qu’à entrevoir ce que peuvent être les lois qui régissent toute l’immense machinerie du cosmos. II y avait là de quoi tenter un homme de cinéma : avec la collaboration de ce très grand auteur de sciencefiction qu’est Arthur C. Clarke, le réalisateur Stanley Kubrick a conçu en Cinérama cette odyssée de l’espace qui depuis des mois stupéfie les Américains, les Londoniens et que le public français découvre à son tour |

When an enigmatic monolith is found buried on the moon, scientists are amazed to discover that it's at least 3 million years old. Even more amazing, after it's unearthed the artifact releases a powerful signal aimed at Saturn. What sort of alarm has been triggered? To find out, a manned spacecraft, the Discovery, is sent to investigate. Its crew is highly trained--the best--and they are assisted by a self-aware computer, the ultra-capable HAL 9000. But HAL's programming has been patterned after the human mind a little too well. He is capable of guilt, neurosis, even murder, and he controls every single one of Discovery's components. The crew must overthrow this digital psychotic if they hope to make their rendezvous with the entities that are responsible not just for the monolith, but maybe even for human civilization |

«L’oggetto davanti al quale si trovava in posa l’uomo con la tuta spaziale era una lastra verticale di materiale nerissimo, alta circa tre metri e larga un metro e mezzo […] Perfettamente simmetrica e con spigoli geometrici, era così nera da dare l’impressione che assorbisse la luce dalla quale veniva illuminata; non esisteva assolutamente alcun particolare superficiale.» Un misterioso monolito, un’astronave diretta verso Saturno e un calcolatore di inconcepibile capacità… Estesione del racconto «La sentinella», questo romanzo è stato portato al cinema da Stanley Kubrick nel 1968. Arthur C. Clarke è considerato fra i più grandi scrittori di fantascienza di tutti i tempi. Personalità straordinaria, non solo nel campo della narrativa, scrisse un articolo nel 1945 che portò all’invenzione della tecnologia satellitare.

L’astronave Leonov e il suo equipaggio, del quale fa parte l’astronomo americano Heywood Floyd, è in rotta verso Giove con il compito di studiare il misterioso monolito e recuperare l’astronave Discovery. I cinesi battono sul tempo la Leonov ma, una volta atterrati su Europa, la loro astronave viene distrutta da misteriose forme di vita. Nel frattempo David Bowman, sotto forma di un essere superiore ma non ancora svincolato dalla sua natura umana, lancia strani moniti. Qualcosa di importante sta per accadere ma non è ben chiaro chi ci sia dietro a tutto questo e per quale finalità agisca: il monolito nero, replicandosi all’inverosimile, aumenta la massa di Giove facendolo collassare su se stesso fino a trasformarlo in una stella. Da questo romanzo, nel 1984 il regista Peter Hyams trae il film «2010 — L’anno del contatto», con Roy Scheider protagonista. Arthur C. Clarke è considerato fra i più grandi scrittori di fantascienza di tutti i tempi.

«Tutti questi mondi sono vostri, tranne Europa. Non mettete piede su Europa». E’ questo l’inquietante messaggio giunto sulla Terra per mano di misteriose creature subito dopo l’ignizione di Giove. Per diversi decenni l’uomo tenta di scoprire senza successo i segreti celati all’interno del satellite galileiano, finché un giorno la lussuosa astronave da crociera Galaxy viene dirottata in circostanze poco chiare sulla sua superficie. In suo aiuto accorre la Universe, che ha raccolto la sua disperata richiesta di soccorso: e le verità che verranno a galla saranno inquietanti e sconvolgenti. «2061: Odissea tre» è il terzo capitolo della saga più affascinante della letteratura fantascientifica: ancora una volta Arthur Clarke ci colpisce con un romanzo di realistica fantasia, incentrato sul confronto fra l’Uomo e l’Ignoto. Quest’opera sarebbe dovuta nascere in seguito alle nuove scoperte della missione Galileo, dedicata allo studio dei principali satelliti di Giove. Purtroppo la tragedia del Challanger ritardò di molti anni l’inizio di tale missione, pertanto l’autore decise di non aspettare oltre. Parte delle vicende narrate traggono invece spunto da un articolo di Melvin Ross del Lawrence Livemore National Laboratory e pubblicato sulla rivista Nature nel 1987: in esso si ipotizza la presenza di nuclei di diamante all’interno dei pianeti «giganti» del sistema solare. Così come 2010 non è esattamente il seguito di 2001, anche questo libro non è propriamente il seguito di 2010: è lo stesso autore a definire le tre opere come «variazioni sul tema». Si noti ad esempio come l’epilogo di 2010 sia più o meno in contrasto con lo svolgimento dei fatti in 2061. Forse all’inizio 2061 non vi appassionerà come i precedenti due episodi, ma vi posso assicurare che nei capitoli finali le vicende acquistano un fascino irresistibile: molti sono i misteri che vengono svelati, in particolare si comprendono, almeno parzialmente, la natura e le funzioni del monolito |

Em um futuro muito distante, toda a humanidade está confinada a uma única cidade, totalmente fechada. Ninguém pode sair da cidade, que funciona como o último reduto da raça humana. Todas as necessidades humanas são atendidas por um sofisticado sistema de computadores e a vida é virtualmente eterna. Os seres humanos, após uma existência muito prolongada, são armazenados em bancos de memória dos computadores para depois ressucitarem, evitando o tédio da vida eterna. Mas nem todos se conformam com esta situação: um jovem quer saber o que há lá fora. Esse inconformismo dá origem a uma das mais belas histórias da ficção científica e certamente trata-se de uma obra-prima de Arthur C. Clarke |

Apenas algumas ilhas espalhadas num planeta selvagem oceânico, Thalassa era um verdadeiro paraíso. Feliz e tranquilo, o povo de Thassala deleitava-se em viver bem no seu belo e abastado mundo. Envolvdos pelos encantos e recursos do planeta, aqueles colonos não suspeitavam do colossal evento que repentinamente tomaria lugar sobre seus mares. O idílio de Thalassa seria rompido em breve com o aparecimento de Magalhães em sua órbita. Protegida por um escudo de gelo que a cercava, Magalhães tinha a aparência fascinante de um enorme cristal esverdeado e resplandecente. Por dentro do iceberg, artificial, Magalhães uma nave espacial de proporções gigantescas, transportava um milhão de refugiados da Terra em estado de hibernação. Eles eram os sobreviventes dos últimos e alucinados dias da civilização humana em seu planeta de origem. A chegada de Magalhães a Thalassa fatalmente abalaria a calma e segurança dos nativos: a astronave estaria só fazendo uma escala em sua jornada para uma estrela mais distante, como alegou a tripulação, ou a intenção era ficar e estabelecer os passageiros naquele cenário divino? |

Bisesę Dutt, odesłaną na Ziemię 2037 roku przez tajemniczych i potężnych Pierworodnych, prześladują wspomnienia pięciu lat spędzonych na dziwnej, odmienionej Ziemi o nazwie Mir, światem poskładanym z lądów i ludzi wyrwanych z rozmaitych epok historii Ziemi. Dlaczego Pierworodni utworzyli Mir? Dlaczego Bisesę tam zabrano, a następnie sprowadzono z powrotem zaledwie w dzień po jej zniknięciu? Pytania, jakie zadaje sobie Bisesa, znajdą odpowiedź w chwili odkrycia przez naukowców niezwykłej anomalii w jądrze Słońca, będącej dowodem interwencji obcych ponad dwa tysiące lat wcześniej. Plan nakreślony przez zagadkowych obserwatorów oddalonych o wiele lat świetlnych ma zostać zrealizowany w postaci burzy słonecznej, której celem jest likwidacja życia na Ziemi. Kiedy nad światem zawisa widmo apokalipsy, okazuje się, że różnice polityczne i religijne na Ziemi zagrażają wszelkim próbom ratowania planety. A Pierworodni przez cały czas obserwują… |

Childhood’s End is a 1953 science fiction novel by the British author Arthur C. Clarke. The story follows the peaceful alien invasion of Earth by the mysterious Overlords, whose arrival ends all war, helps form a world government, and turns the planet into a near-utopia. Many questions are asked about the origins and mission of the aliens, but they avoid answering, preferring to remain in their space ships, governing through indirect rule. Decades later, the Overlords eventually show themselves, and their impact on human culture leads to a Golden Age. However, the last generation of children on Earth begins to display powerful psychic abilities, heralding their evolution into a group mind, a transcendent form of life. Clarke’s idea for the book began with his short story “Guardian Angel” (1946), which he expanded into a novel in 1952, incorporating it as the first part of the book, “Earth and the Overlords”. Completed and published in 1953, Childhood’s End sold out its first printing and received good reviews, becoming Clarke’s first successful novel of his career. The book is regarded as Clarke’s best novel by both readers and critics, and is described as “a classic of alien literature”. Along with The Songs of Distant Earth (1986), Clarke considered Childhood’s End one of his favourite novels |

La llegada al Sistema Solar,hacia el año 2130, del monstruoso Rama, esa masa de cuarenta kilómetros de longitud, plantea a los científicos de la Tierra una serie de enigmas a estudiar y resolver. ¿Se trata de un astro con luz propia? ¿Es acaso un meteorito escapado del cinturón de Van Allen, o es un vehículo espacial, una aeronave tripulada por seres de una suprema inteligencia o tal vez teledirigido desde algún planeta del Cosmos infinito? Cosmonautas y hombres de ciencia, a la par, dedican todos sus esfuerzos, todos sus conocimientos, a encontrar la solución a tales enigmas, algunos de los cuales podrán aclararse mientras que otros seguirán siendo un misterio cuando Rama, esa verdadera incógnita volante, abandone nuestro sistema planetario para hundirse de nuevo en las procelosas profundidades del insondable espacio cósmico |

Un missile top secret che svanisce in volo. Un tridente d’oro che cambia sorprendentemente forma. Una caverna subacquea custodita da balene... Qualcosa si nasconde nel fondo marino al largo di Key West, un mistero in parte umano ma nello stesso tempo terribilmente alieno. Il suo potere è immenso e terrificante e potrebbe distruggere ogni forma di vita sulla Terra. Ma qualcuno ha deciso di scoprire il terribile segreto. E da quel momento non esiste più alcuna certezza, nessun luogo sicuro in cui nascondersi, nessuna alleanza su cui poter contare. Intorno a una giornalista bella e ambiziosa, disposta a correre qualsiasi rischio pur di arrivare alla verità, si stringe la rete di una cospirazione implacabile: spie militari, killer spietati, ma soprattutto una forza estranea e sconosciuta, le cui mosse nessuna mente umana potrebbe comprendere e prevedere... L’inesauribile immaginazione di Arthur C. Clarke spazia in questo nuovo romanzo dagli enigmi irrisolti del passato alle soglie indecifrabili del futuro, dagli infiniti oceani di stelle all’imperscrutabile fondo del mare. In un appassionante viaggio ai confini della realtà, Culla esplora i percorsi dell’avventura e dell’ignoto |

El sol ya no es la estrella eterna e inmutable que todos han conocido: la ciencia ha demostrado que en el año 3620 iniciará un leve proceso de tipo nova, que acabará con la vida en el sistema solar. Durante siglos, la humanidad ha intentado desesperadamente salvar su propia existencia enviando misiones a los planetas habitables más cercanos. Entre esos planetas se encuentra Thalassa, un mundo acuático en el que solo tres islas volcánicas se encuentran por encima del nivel del mar; pese a la amenaza de Krakan, el gran volcán, los thalassanos han logrado formar una comunidad estable y equilibrada. Mientras tanto, en la Tierra, a solo ciento cincuenta años del apocalipsis, han descubierto al fin el secreto de las enormes e inagotables fuentes de energía del universo. Tres años antes del fin parte la Magallanes, la primera y última nave espacial terrestre que utiliza esa tecnología. El destino de la Magallanes, su tripulación y el millón de seres humanos que transportan en hibernación es el primigenio planeta Sagan Dos; sin embargo, debido a que el escudo de hielo que protege la nave de la radiación se ha deteriorado muy rápidamente, hacen una escala en Thalassa para reponerlo. A partir de ahí, los tripulantes de la Magallanes se enfrentan a un gran dilema: ¿deben seguir con el viaje, ahora que han descubierto que su objetivo se ha cumplido ya en Thalassa? CÁNTICOS DE LA LEJANA TIERRA hace verdadero honor a la sonoridad de su título. Realmente es una historia a medio camino entre la nostalgia de un pasado que ya no podrá ser recuperado y un futuro que aún está por labrar. Los tripulantes de la Magallanes son la expresión de esta lucha entre la añoranza y la esperanza, en especial cuando descubren en Thalassa un trozo de lo que han dejado atrás. La novela se inscribe en el más puro estilo de Arthur C. Clarke, el mismo que ha dado títulos tan memorables. Destaca además la linealidad y lo completo del argumento, aun sin ser su fuerte, ya que en otras ocasiones caía en una cierta asincronía. En esta ocasión no avanza por caminos atrevidos o arriesgados, ni lanza sus propuestas con ambición. Aunque ello le resta bastante empuje (lo que los americanos llaman punch), también es cierto que hubiera sido incoherente con ese sentido de nostalgia tan poco usual dentro de la ciencia ficción, siempre impregnada de un carácter aventurero. La mejor palabra que en definitiva se me ocurre para definir CÁNTICOS DE LA LEJANA TIERRA es entrañable: una historia inevitablemente agradable de leer. Francisco Ontanaya |

Die erste Version dieses Romans, eine Kurzgeschichte von 12500 Wörtern, wurde von Februar bis April 1957 geschrieben und in dem amerikanischen Magazin „IF“ (Juni 1958) und im englischen Magazin „Science Fantasy“ (Juni 1959) veröffentlicht. Einfacher findet man sie vielleicht in meinen bei Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich erschienenen Sammlungen ‚The Other Side of the Sky‘ (1958) und ‚From the Ocean, Front the Stars‘ (1962). 1979 entwickelte ich das Thema in einem kurzen Filmentwurf, der im Magazin „Omni“ (Bd. 3, No. 12, 1980) erschienen ist. Seither wurde diese Version in der illustrierten Sammlung meiner Kurzgeschichten ‚The Sentinel‘ bei Byron Preiss/Berkley (1984) veröffentlicht, zusammen mit einer Einführung, die erklärt, wie sie entstanden ist und wie sie völlig unerwartet dazu führte, daß ‚2010: Odyssee Zwei‘ geschrieben und verfilmt wurde. Dieser Roman, die dritte und endgültige Fassung, wurde im Mai 1983 begonnen und im Juni 1985 fertiggestellt |

Die letzte Generation (engl. Childhood’s End) ist ein Science-Fiction-Roman von Arthur C. Clarke aus dem Jahr 1953. Er thematisiert das Auftreten einer außerirdischen Rasse und das damit verbundene Aussterben der Menschheit auf ihrer jetzigen Existenzebene. Anders als in ähnlichen Werken geht hier die Menschheit nicht durch Krieg und Zerstörung zugrunde, sondern durch die Wandlung der Kinder aller Menschen in eine andere Daseinsform und die folgende, selbst gewählte Kinderlosigkeit der Erwachsenen… |

En el siglo XXII, los humanos habitan la Luna y Marte; una veterana de guerra ha fundado Crislam, doctrina religiosa impartida a través de módulos de realidad virtual; no queda comida natural, pero reciclando desechos se consigue cualquier plato; los pisos son pequeños, pero el Papa se opone a cada nuevo avance… La aparición de un asteoide que amenaza con caer sobre la tierra plantea el gran dilema de fondo: ¿hay que destruirlo en el espacio? ¿No será mejor dejar que caiga y contribuya a arreglar el problema de la superpoblación de la tierra? Con esos elementos, Clarke recupera las dotes que lo convirtieron en maestro del género: perspicacia para plantear un futuro lejano pero ya visible, capacidad de retar al intelecto del lector al tiempo que lo entretiene, y una ironia cargada de ingenio contundente |

The Firstborn — the mysterious race of aliens who first became known to science fiction fans as the builders of the iconic black monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey — have inhabited legendary master of science fiction Sir Arthur C. Clarke’s writing for decades. With Time’s Eye and Sunstorm, the first two books in their acclaimed Time Odyssey series, Clarke and his brilliant co-author Stephen Baxter imagined a near-future in which the Firstborn seek to stop the advance of human civilization by employing a technology indistinguishable from magic. Their first act was the Discontinuity, in which Earth was carved into sections from different eras of history, restitched into a patchwork world, and renamed Mir. Mir’s inhabitants included such notables as Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, and United Nations peacekeeper Bisesa Dutt. For reasons unknown to her, Bisesa entered into communication with an alien artifact of inscrutable purpose and godlike power — a power that eventually returned her to Earth. There, she played an instrumental role in humanity’s race against time to stop a doomsday event: a massive solar storm triggered by the alien Firstborn designed to eradicate all life from the planet. That fate was averted at an inconceivable price. Now, twenty-seven years later, the Firstborn are back. This time, they are pulling no punches: They have sent a “quantum bomb.” Speeding toward Earth, it is a device that human scientists can barely comprehend, that cannot be stopped or destroyed — and one that will obliterate Earth. Bisesa’s desperate quest for answers sends her first to Mars and then to Mir, which is itself threatened with extinction. The end seems inevitable. But as shocking new insights emerge into the nature of the Firstborn and their chilling plans for mankind, an unexpected ally appears from light-years away. From the Hardcover edition |

Poput blistavog dragulja, grad je ležao na prsima pustinje. Nekada je bio podložan promenama i preinačenjima, ali sada je Vreme teklo mimo njega. Noći i dani nizali su se preko lica pustinje, ali na ulicama Diaspara vladalo je večno popodne i tama se nikada nije spuštala. Duge zimske noći mogle su mrazom da okuju pustinju, ledeći poslednje ostatke vlage u razređenom vazduhu Zemlje — ali grad nije osećao ni toplotu ni hladnoću. On nije stajao ni u kakvoj vezi sa spoljnim zbivanjima; bio je to svet za sebe. Ljudi su i ranije podizali gradove, ali nikada sličan ovome. Neki su trajali stolećima, drugi milenijumima, pre no što je Vreme razvejalo čak i njihova imena. Jedino se Diaspar uhvatio ukoštac sa Večnošću, braneći sebe i ono čemu je pružao okrilje protiv sporog osipanja vekova, razorne moći truljenja i pogubnog dejstva rđe. Od časa kada je sazdan, okeani su nestali sa površine Zemlje, a pustinja se rasprostrla čitavom planetom. Vetrovi i kiša satrli su u prašinu poslednje planine, a svet je bio odveć umoran da bi iznedrio nove. Grad za to nije mario; čak se i sama Zemlja mogla pretvoriti u prah i pepeo, a Diaspar bi i dalje štitio decu svojih tvoraca, noseći bezbedno njih i njihova dobra niz reku vremena… |

…Sesilele sunt o specie lipsita de aparare. Pe domeniul lor nu au nici un fel de arme. Pana si forma lor mobila, care are dexteritatea fizica de a folosi arme, este in esenta non-violenta. Pentru a se apara de ceea ce se tem ca va fi invazia inevitabila a oamenilor, sesilele le-au indrumat pe mirmipisicile mobile sa construiasca fortarete in jurul a patru dintre cele mai batrane si dezvoltate din specia lor. Intre timp pepenii-mana nu mai sunt lasati sa germineze, iar mirmipisicile care nu sunt implicate in procesul de construire sunt de timpuriu transformate in coconi. Daca oamenii isi mai intarzie atacul cu cateva intervale, cum se pare ca vor face, este posibil ca in timpul invaziei lor sa gaseasca doar cateva mirmipisici… |

V románu Hluboké pastviny autor opustil vesmír, aby čerpal inspiraci ve stejně tajemných a nebezpečných hloubkách oceánů. Vzniklo tak, zejména díky reálnosti příběhu, jedno z jeho nejlepších děl. Přelidněné lidstvo hledá nové možnosti obživy i v oceánech, kde obrovské plantáže slouží k hromadnému chovu velryb. Zde farmaří i Franklin, astronaut, který musel změnit zaměstnání a jehož strmou kariéru román sleduje. Při své práci zažívá v neprozkoumaných hlubinách mnohá dobrodružství, která jsou mnohdy nebezpečnější než ta v kosmu |

In einer inzwischen nicht mehr allzu fernen Zukunft ist der Mensch nicht nur auf den Mond zurückgekehrt: Er hat ihn besiedelt, Stützpunkte errichtet und schließlich Städte gebaut, deren stolze Bürger bereits nach Zehntausenden zählen. Bei den Erdmenschen steht der Nachttrabant als Reiseziel hoch im Kurs. Inzwischen gibt es in Port Clavius, der ältesten Mondstadt, eine eigene Touristenbehörde, die von Direktor Davis straff und erfolgreich geführt wird. Die neueste Attraktion ist der Staubkreuzer „Selene“, kein Raumschiff, sondern eine Art Mondbus, der zwanzig gut betuchten Passagieren eine eindrucksvolle Fahrt über das „Meer des Durstes“ beschert. Da der Mond bekanntlich eine luft- und wasserlose Felsenkugel ist, wird dieses Meer von feinem Staub gefüllt, der sich allerdings unter Weltraum-Bedingungen wie eine Flüssigkeit verhält und so etwas wie eine Mond- Schifffahrt ermöglicht. — Kapitän der „Selene“ ist der Pat Harris, ein nicht besonders ehrgeiziger, aber gewissenhafter junger Mann. Unterstützt wird er von Stewardess Sue Wilkins, die aus härterem Holz geschnitzt ist. Das ist hilfreich, als die aktuelle Fahrt der „Selene“ durch ein Mondbeben unterbrochen wird, das den Kreuzer im „Meer des Durstes“ versinken lässt. Dort sitzt man fest, gefangen vom Staub, der die Kommunikation mit der Basisstation verhindert und einen Ausstieg verhindert; es gibt ohnehin nur einen Raumanzug an Bord… |

Come sarà il nostro primo incontro con una razza, una civiltà extraterrestre? Gli scettici dicono: non ci sarà mai. I pessimisti obiettano: già non riusciamo ad andare d'accordo fra noi, figurarsi con gli alieni. Nondimeno, milioni di uomini continuano a fantasticare appassionatamente su quel tema, e decine di scrittori a esplorarne tutte le varianti possibili. Questo Rama, questo corpo estraneo che si presenta un giorno nel nostro cielo, questo cilindro grandioso che è astronave, relitto, museo, enigmatica e solenne cattedrale, si può considerare una delle invenzioni di maggior fascino mai create dalla fantascienza. E la bravura di Clarke, maestro di verosimiglianza cosmica, sta nel persuaderci col suo inimitabile piglio insieme avventuroso e scientifico, che si tratta anche di un'invenzione tutt'altro che «impossibile». Che proprio così andranno forse le cose, quando scoccherà l'ora del primo incontro |
