Dan Simmons is a phenomenal talent. Since the triumphant publication of his first novel, the multiple-award-winning author of «The Hollow Man» has demonstrated equal facility for writing horror; thoughtful, literary fiction; and powerful, world-building science fiction in the best tradition of Frank Herbert, Larry Niven, and David Brin. Now, in the stunning continuation of the epic adventure begun in Hyperion, Simmons returns us to a far future resplendent with drama and invention. On the world of Hyperion, the mysterious Time Tombs are opening. And the secrets they contain mean that nothing — nothing anywhere in the universe — will ever be the same. Формат издания: 10,5 см х 17,5 см.

Quotes

  • Nadezda Ostapenkohas quoted5 years ago
    With a sudden clarity which went beyond the immediacy of his pain or sorrow, Sol Weintraub suddenly understood perfectly why Abraham had agreed to sacrifice Isaac, his son, when the Lord commanded him to do so.
    It was not obedience.
    It was not even to put the love of God above the love of his son.
    Abraham was testing God.
    By denying the sacrifice at the last moment, by stopping the knife, God had earned the right—in Abraham’s eyes and the hearts of his offspring—to become the God of Abraham.
  • Nadezda Ostapenkohas quoted5 years ago
    whatever form God now took in human consciousness—whether as a mere manifestation of the subconscious in all its revanchist needs or as a More conscious attempt at philosophical and ethical evolution—humankind could no longer agree to offer up sacrifice in God’s name. Sacrifice and the agreement to sacrifice had written human history in blood.
  • Nadezda Ostapenkohas quoted5 years ago
    For our race to achieve the true satori, for us to move to that next level of consciousness and evolution that so many of our philosophies proclaim, all facets of human endeavor must become conscious strivings for art
