Zeitstopp (Time Stop) by Austrian author Peter Schattschneider (ISFDB, Wikipedia DE), who has twice been a recipient of the prestigious Kurd-Lasswitz Prize (Wikipedia) but is generally not available in translation, is a vintage collection of his German-language science fiction stories, containing 10 tales from the 1970s-80s on themes of interstellar travel, artificial intelligence, time manipulation and more, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press.
This was originally published in 1982 by Suhrkamp as #76 in their Phantastische Bibliothek series. It's actually really nice of Endeavour, a British publisher, to go to the trouble of e-printing probably middling-obscure old foreign-language genre books for which there's probably a really limited new-sale market. ![]() Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else worldwide that Amazon sells, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive or else program) Description (in German) Erforschen Sie die Welt der Science-Fiction in 10 fantastischen Kurzgeschichten. Jede der 10 Geschichte erzählt von einer anderen Welt. In Das Whiskysyndrom haben sich Menschen auf anderen Planeten angesiedelt und betreiben interstellaren Handel. Superzyte zeigt eine Welt, in der künstliche Intelligenz kein Zukunftstraum mehr ist. In Zeitstopp hält eine Droge der Zeitverlangsamung die Menschen in Atem. Ob Möglichkeiten des interstellaren Reisens ausgelotet, Menschen in lebende Computer verwandelt oder neue Versionen der Schöpfungsgeschichte erzählt werden, Peter Schattschneider gelingt es in dieser Sammlung auf beeindruckende Weise seine Leser in die entlegendsten Welten der Fantasie zu entführen. Jede von ihnen ist einzigartig und faszinierend. Aber was wird mit Ihnen geschehen? Last edited by ATDrake; 04-01-2017 at 01:07 AM. |
