Лучшие книги Эдгара Пенгборна

Эдгар Пенгборн (1909-1976) дебютировал в фантастике поздно, в 1951 г., и написал в этом жанре очень немного - однако навсегда остался в истории американской и мировой научной фантастики как один из ярчайших и оригинальнейших ее представителей. Достаточно сказать, что самое известное из произведений Пенгборна, роман «Зеркало для наблюдателей», был удостоен Международной премии по фантастике — «в компании» с «Городом» Саймака и «Властелином Колец» Толкина.

They fought for mere survival. But their duty was to colonize and populate the planet … with four men and only two women!

Edgar Pangborn's science fiction classic. «The ship itself occasioned some excitement, but back there at the tattered end of the century, what was one visiting spaceship more or less?»

With the same rich imagination and dazzling insights that won him the International Fantasy Award, Edgar Pangborn weaves a magical tapestry set far in man's future.

It is a time when man, struggling to rise above the ashes of nuclear holocaust, has returned to the simpler values and lifestyle of medieval times. And in this society, Demetrios the storyteller is revered among men for his captivating tales of the Old Time, with its miraculous Telephones, and Jet Planes, and TV, and Automobiles. But Demetrios is also feared—for one storyteller with a head full of ancient truth can be dangerous.

So Demetrios is forced to flee, with six compatriots, and together they embark on a journey full of unexpected sorrows, and unimagined delights, a journey through realms of fantasy, philosophy, and rich human possibility, which the reader will be delighted and privileged to share.
