Representaion Supposing Books The City and the Stars

Clarke's masterful evocation of the far future of humanity, considered his finest novel.

Men had built cities before, but never such a city as Diaspar. For millennia its protective dome shut out the creeping decay and danger of the world outside. Once, it held powers that rule the stars.

But then, as legend has it, the invaders came, driving humanity into this last refuge. It takes one man, a Unique, to break through Diaspar's stifling inertia, to smash the legend and discover the true nature of the Invaders.

Notice Of Books The City and the Stars

I read this book in HS. Oh, I wanted to be Alvin so much, traveling among the stars, exploring different corners of the Universe. It is a great scifi book.

To be honest, I am a little disappointed. Mr. Clarkes works usually are brimming with ideas, which here were not the case, unfortunately. It felt like a cartoon for children the way characters are shaped, the environment, the robots, the city, the universe Maybe I did not get the message right; maybe this is how it was supposed to be all the above to be just a blurred background for what the author wanted to transmit us: in isolation and without progress we regress and disappear but also too

From the time I was a teenager and all the way through young adulthood Arthur C. Clarke was my favorite writer. I would read anything of his I could find, including non-fiction, because I found it to be highly entertaining and enjoyable. Like many books of his, I thought I had already read this one. As far as I can now determine, I hadn't. Or maybe it was so long ago that I don't remember it.The book came out in 1956, when I was about 10 years old, and before I was a Clarke fan. The copy I have

The City and the Stars has tremendous personal appeal in my universe. This was the first Science Fiction book I can remember reading as a young girl. Science fiction soon became a genre that I enjoyed and Arthur C. Clarke had become a mainstay. I have wanted to reread this book for several years since joining gr to see how the book stands up to the test of time and forming minds. (view spoiler)[A brief synopsis: Diaspar is a domed city on earth billions of years in the future. The oceans have

3.5 stars - Arthur C. Clarke takes the reader on another epic journey.This is the third Arthur C. Clarke book I've read (2001: a space odyssey, childhoods end) and once again he points out the insignificance of the human race in the grand scheme of things. 'The city and the stars' Is set in a future earth billions of years from now. There is only one city left on earth, Diaspar, which is preserved under a dome. Beyond the city of Diaspar is nothing, no oceans, no plant life, no life - just

The second book in my 2013 travel collection was my first ever Arthur C. Clarke. Recommended to me by a stranger at a charity book sale as we bonded over our mutual love of classic science fiction whilst flicking through hundreds of old books, as his favourite science fiction novel ever I couldn't refuse to buy it. That strange man didn't let me down, I really enjoyed this classic piece of science fiction from the Grandmaster. It's a science fiction adventure the likes of which they just can't
