What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Scarce, With Dustwrapper

Contains a bibliography of Clarke's work. This collection of Clarke's short stories includes a number of his well known works including the inspiration behind 2001: A Space Odyssey; The Sentinel. All the included works were written between 1937 and 1971 and were originally published in a range of magazines, including Vogue, Playboy and Infinity Science Fiction. Arthur C. Clarke was a British science fiction writer and inventor, who is widely regarded as a key figure in the popularisation of space travel. His screenplay for the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was co-written with Stanley Kubrick, is considered to be one of the most influential films of all time. For many years Arthur C. Clarke, along with Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asmiov, were considered the 'Big Three' of science fiction writing.
