What Makes This Book So Great Re-Reading the Classics of Science Fiction and Fantasy【電子書籍】[ Jo Walton ]
＜p＞＜strong＞"A remarkable guided tour through the fieldーa kind of nonfiction companion to ＜em＞Among Others＜/em＞. It's very good. It's great." ーCory Doctorow, ＜em＞Boing Boing＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜br /＞ As any reader of Jo Walton's ＜em＞Among Others＜/em＞ might guess, Walton is both an inveterate reader of SF and fantasy, and a chronic re-reader of books. In 2008, then-new science-fiction mega-site Tor.com asked Walton to blog regularly about her re-readingーabout all kinds of older fantasy and SF, ranging from acknowledged classics, to guilty pleasures, to forgotten oddities and gems. These posts have consistently been among the most popular features of Tor.com. Now this volumes presents a selection of the best of them, ranging from short essays to long reassessments of some of the field's most ambitious series.＜br /＞ Among Walton's many subjects here are the Zones of Thought novels of Vernor Vinge; the question of what genre readers mean by "mainstream"; the underappreciated SF adventures of C. J. Cherryh; the field's many approaches to time travel; the masterful science fiction of Samuel R. Delany; Salman Rushdie's ＜em＞Midnight's Children＜/em＞; the early Hainish novels of Ursula K. Le Guin; and a Robert A. Heinlein novel you have most certainly never read.＜br /＞ Over 130 essays in all, ＜em＞What Makes This Book So Great＜/em＞ is an immensely readable, engaging collection of provocative, opinionated thoughts about past and present-day fantasy and science fiction, from one of our best writers.＜br /＞ ＜strong＞"For readers unschooled in the history of SF/F, this book is a treasure trove." ー ＜em＞Publishers Weekly＜/em＞ (starred review)＜/strong＞＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。1,760円 0.0(0) 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア / Rakuten
