Blurb
Earth has become a Utopia, guided by a strange unseen people from outer space whose staggering powers have eradicated war, cruelty, poverty and racial inequality. When the 'Overlords' finally reveal themselves, their horrific form makes little impression.
Then comes the sign that the Overlords have been waiting for. A child begins to dream strangely - and develops remarkable powers. Soon this happens to every child - and the truth of the Overlords' mission is finally revealed to the human race. . .
A classic of the science fiction genre, Childhood's End is an intelligent, beautifully written exploration of what it means to be human from the inimitable Arthur C. Clarke. Now adapted as a three-part miniseries on Sky.
Biography
Arthur C. Clarke zählt neben Isaac Asimov und Robert A. Heinlein zu den größten Science-Fiction-Autoren aller Zeiten. Geboren 1917 in Minehead, Somerset, studierte er nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg Physik und Mathematik am King's College in London. Zugleich legte er mit seinen Kurzgeschichten und Romanen den Grundstein für eine beispiellose Karriere als SF-Autor. Neben zahllosen Sachbüchern gehören zu seinen bedeutendsten Werken die Romane "Die letzte Generation" sowie 2001 - Odyssee im Weltraum". Clarke verstarb Anfang des Jahres 2008.More from Arthur C.
