It is the story of Valentine Michael Smith, the man from Mars who taught humankind grokking and water sharing. And love. Forastero en tierra extraña es una novela de Robert A. Heinlein escrita en 1961. En su publicación fue un escándalo por la forma de concebir las relaciones sexuales que se desprendían de la novela. Más tarde se convirtió en un enorme éxito y referente de la contracultura de la época. En la novela, Valentin Michael Smith es un joven humano, hijo de los primeros exploradores enviados a Marte, educado por una sociedad marciana. Cuando vuelve a su planeta, los conflictos no se harán esperar.
The great falling off in the quality of Heinlein's work came during the period that brought "Stranger in a Strange Land." Jubal Harshaw--who says things like "What the self-styled modern artists are doing is a sort of unemotional pseudo-intellectual masturbation"--is the first of a series of pompous libertarian windbags whose oral methane makes all of Heinlein's later tomes into rapidly emptying locker rooms. Most of the material added to this new edition seems to consist of speeches by Jubal, and the rest of the new material includes nominally "shocking" sections that, aired in 1990, are glaringly sexist. For instance, lovable Jill volunteers the opinion that "Nine times out of ten, if a girl gets raped, it's at least partly her own fault."

HTML: Stranger in a Strange Land is the epic saga of an earthling, Valentine Michael Smith, born and educated on Mars, who arrives on our planet with "psi" powers??telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, telekinesis, teleportation, pyrolysis, and the ability to take control of the minds of others??and complete innocence regarding the mores of man. After his tutelage under a surrogate father figure, Valentine begins his transformation into a kind of messiah. His exceptional abilities lead him to become many things to many people: freak, scam artist, media commodity, searcher, free love pioneer, neon evangelist, and martyr. Heinlein won his second Hugo Award for this novel, sometimes called his "divine comedy" and often called his masterpiece. This Blackstone audiobook is the "as published" version, read from an Ace paperback published in 1987. The full, uncut text was not made available until 1991 No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
