Per quanto non nutra particolare simpatia per l'autore ho trovato questo classicone un... classicone. Ho apprezzato che non fosse da un lato una sequenza di tecnobubble e dall'altro un trattato filosofico ma un equilibrato romanzo che, però e purtroppo, porta i segni della vecchiaia. Contestualizzato all'epoca è sicuramente una gran bella lettura, ma oggi rimane molto qualcosa di già visto, stravisto, già sentito e già sviscerato in tutti i modi. Ci sono almeno 4 o 5 episodi di ogni serie di fantascienza che seguono la falsariga dei concetti affrontati in questo romanzo. Onore al merito dei padri. Cool scifi story about Alan Corday who was shanghaid aboard the "Hound of Heaven." He soon learns of the long passage and the cold equations by Einstein that predict the time away from Earth is multiplied many times when you are hitting at or near the speed of light. The adventurer has his tough times with the Captain Jocelyn, visits strange colonies, one taken over by aliens, and the Earth changes as the centuries roll on. Fascinating study of how a man changes and how the Earth may change as it got more decadent as the centuries passed. A must-read, could pass for a Young Adult novel. Recommended. I have been rereading and listening to the audiobook today, May 5, 2013 I skimmed it years ago and set it aside. My appreciation for this tale went way up making better use of the glossary this time through. Harsh and gritty though it is, the craftsmanship of its telling is remarkable. Deep as space itself. I still have a few chapters and suspensefully re-await its conclusion. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

A SAGA OF COSMIC DIMENSIONS. To the Stars is set in an uncertain, strifetorn future when the first starships of man are traveling across the galaxy but not without extracting a terrible price from their crews. The novel's thoughtprovoking opening line, "Space is deep, Man is small and Time is his relentless enemy," powerfully captures the challenges facing the brave men and women of these vessels, people who must give up their former lives to explore space as entire generations and whole societies come and go on Earth, while those aboard remain essentially untouched by the passage of time in a vessel traveling at nearly the speed of light.
