The night was hot and overcast, the sky red, rimmed with the lingering sunset of mid-summer. They sat at the open window, trying to fancy the air was fresher there. The trees and shrubs of the garden stood stiff and dark; beyond in the roadway a gas-lamp burnt, bright orange against the hazy blue of the evening. Farther were the three lights of the railway signal against the lowering sky. The man and woman spoke to one another in low tones. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Never mind, what you have here is a 1965 collection that the publisher is trying to make sound more sexy than it is. It's a reasonable collection and the title story, The Cone, is rather nasty - a man whose wife has been unfaithful to him lures his rival into a steelworks, where he throws him into a blast furnace. So much for Wells the advocate of free love...
But this is as much a gem - and gets its four stars from me - because of the quirky 60s packaging! ( )
