Книга: Atwood M. «In Other Worlds SF and the Human Imagination»
|
Margaret Atwood shares the evolution of her personal fascination with this branch of literature, from her days as a child inventing a race of flying superhero rabbits, to her graduate study of the Victorian ancestors of SF to her appreciations of such influential writers as Marge Piercy, Rider Haggard, Ursula K. LeGuin, Kazuo Ishiguro, Aldous Huxley, and Jonathan Swift. As humorous and charming as it is insightful and provocative, In Other Worlds brilliantly illuminates“the wilder storms on the wilder seas of invention.”..... Формат: Мягкая бумажная, 255 стр.
