A propos de cet article

© 1951: A collection of 10 short stories by Robert A Heinlein that are 2nd in the 'Future History' series of books. 1st printing of 1956 edition. Pan Books #377:- Contents: Delilah And The Space-Rigger / Space Jockey / The Long Watch / Gentlemen, Be Seated / The Black Pits Of Luna / 'It's Great To Be Back!' / '- We Also Walk Dogs' / Ordeal In Space / The Green Hills Of Earth / Logic Of Empire:- Synopsis: 'The Green Hills Of Earth' is a thrilling successor to this author's previous book, 'The Man Who Sold The Moon'. The stories it contains are independent in themselves, but each is a brilliant vignette from the overall picture of life in the 21st century which the author has built up. What is this life like? Men and women are still much the same, and they are still proccupied with their personal problems. But how those problems have changed! In 'Space Jockey' the pilot of a space-ship is trying to land his passengers and cargo with ten percent less fuel than is safe, and at the same time worrying about his wife's fidelity; in 'Logic Of Empire' a lawyer and his friend, under the influence of drink, have signed themselves into virtual slavery on Venus; and in 'The Long Watch' a young man must choose between joining a military coup aimed at world dictatorship and stopping it at the cost of his own life. Others have much simpler problems. In 'It's Great To Be Back', for instance, a young married couple, returning to Earth after several years, are astonished to find themselves homesick for the luxury of Luna City on the Moon. Most of the characters are not the conventional bold explorers of space, but ordinary, homely people facing up to the fantastic but strangely plausible existence Mr Heinlein has given them:- Review(s): "As studies of the large-scale effects that various inventions could have on society his stories are not only dramatic but unusually convincing" - Time And Tide:- (original cost 2').…
