Sinossi
"Lontano dal pianeta silenzioso" racconta l'avventura di Elwin Ransom, professore di filologia in vacanza, che due scienziati rapiscono per un loro losco disegno e trasportano sul pianeta Malacandra. Sfuggito ai rapitori il giorno stesso dello sbarco, solo in un mondo dalle tinte di acquerello, dove le foreste sono labirinti di fragili steli violetti alti dodici metri, Ransom incontra Hyoi, del popolo dei hrossa, agricoltori e poeti dal nero corpo lucente, e gli altri abitanti del pianeta: gli altissimi e sapientissimi sorn e i pfifltriggi simili a ranocchi, maestri di tutte le arti della pietra e del metallo. Scoprendo, con il loro aiuto, i segreti del pianeta Malacandra, Ransom scoprirà anche il segreto della Terra, il "pianeta silenzioso" che da millenni ha cessato di conversare con gli altri mondi.

In the end, I feel that I can do nothing better than to let him speak for himself and to include a few quot Leggi tutto
Not C.S. Lewis's best or most popular book - for every person who reads this, there must be at least ten who read Narnia. However, the exchange between the humans and the Oyarsa (the angelic ruler of Malacandra/Mars) is extremely effective satire, and deserves to be better known. Ransom is the only
After all the post-cyberpunk, Steampunk, New Weird, Post-Singularity, Post-Scarcity etc. books I have been reading lately it is nice to turn to an old school sf book (Christianpunk?) for a change of pace and a bit of coziness. Out of the Silent Planet is in fact more of a science fantasy than someth Leggi tutto
Note, Oct. 31, 2023: I've just edited this review to correct a typo. (The 1989 read date for this book is approximate, not exact. That's often the case for books read pre-Goodreads. It's one that Barb and I read together, and she also liked it.) Even today, nearly 60 years after his death, British lit Leggi tutto
