Arthur C Clarke The Lion of Comarre & Against Against the Fall of Night 1968 HC DJ
Good condition hardcover in fair dustjacket. DJ has some wear and tear. There is a small ink spot on the top corner of the front end page and some age spotting on the closed page edges. Book club edition from 1968. Contains both of the earliest works of fiction by Arthur C Clarke.
The novella is set no later than the close of the 26th century, the novel in an almost unimaginably remote future, but the two works have much in common, as the suthor points out in his introduction. Both involve a search for unknown and mysterious goals. In each case the real objectives are wonder and magic rather than any material gain, and in each case the hero is a young man dissatisfied with his environment. Must human society evolve, in the end, to a state of near perfection that is also stagnant? Both narratives provide to this question a stirring and dramatic answer.
