There you go. This minor SF classic read !!! I am learning more and more to tame this genre, and I tell myself that knowing the basics is quite good. Hence, I found my interest in this book in a flea market. What a journey! A book that reads well and on its own. And what I especially liked was Wells' clever writing. He doesn't take his readers down and makes concepts very accessible, which could put them off. I take as an example the introduction when it includes the idea of the 4th dimension. Even if I found the trip a bit long towards the end, I still appreciated this detour in time. It is a text to read, I think, for all amateurs. And those who want to dive into the world of SF.

Obrigado Ivo, pelo comentário. Qual é que escolherias, já agora?

The film is a classic if you ever get the chance to see it.

De nada ³¢³Üòõ.
Pessoalmente acho que se formos pelos clássicos recomendo os outros 2 de H.G. Wells que mencionei; "Frankenstein" de Mary Shelley; a trilogia da "Fundação" de Asimov (estou a ler o terceiro mas achei os 2 primeiros excelentes); "1984" de Orwell; "Fahrenheit 451" de Bradbury; "Brave New World" A. Huxley; "Rendevouz with Rama" Arthur C. Clarke; "Do Androids dream..." ou o "Man in the high Castle" Philip K. Dick.
Se formos mais para os contemporâneos: "House of Suns" Alastair Reynolds; "Dune" Herbert; "Ender's Game" Orson Scott Card; "Never Let me Go" Kazuo Ishiguro; "Hyperion" Dan Simmons, "The left Hand of Darkness" Ursula K. Le Guin.
Ou então o magnificio e genial "Book of the New Sun" (5 partes) de Gene Wolfe, ou qualquer livro de Iain M. Banks - o meu escritor de Sci Fi favorito - na série the Culture.
São alguns que li e fiquei surpreendido e rendido ao estilo.
Eu confesso que ainda sou um novato no género que passei a adorar nestes últimos 3 anos. Mas honestamente, tenho para mim que o género literário de ficção cientÃfica é tão rico, vasto e repleto de conceitos e ideias que não seriam possÃveis de imaginar e verbalizar noutros registos ou géneros.

The film is ..."
I think I've already saw that movie-picture, Ray.

Obrigado, Ivo!

Yes, and what a surprise.
