The first topic - first contact - is chiefly represented by his comprehensive essay on \"The Theme of First Contact in the SF Works of Arthur C. Clarke\u003ci\u003e\"\u003c\/i\u003e and reflected on the literary level with his short stories \"The Bookshop\u003ci\u003e\"\u003c\/i\u003e and \"The Puzzle\". Two shorter essays on the second topic - time travel in SF literature - introduce, amongst others, the well-known and fascinating mosaic novel \u003ci\u003eTime Gifts\u003c\/i\u003e, which skillfully explores the more literary side of the notions of past, present and future. In the annotations the author provides insights into his take on the subjects presented.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-07-25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319905501\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-90551-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 150\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45587271024780,"sku":"9783319905501","price":22.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319905501.jpg?v=1775828261","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319905501","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
