a long time I began to buy and read Space Trilogy. This first has to succeed, so be sure to take care of this one. I decided to post reviews on each read, part of the cycle, and then combine everything together, that is one big review for the entire trilogy. I must admit that I was afraid to reach for this book. Lewis's version of the sci-fi? Incredible thing. Yet I know him from a completely different angle. Specialist in philosophy, theology, science fiction has to be addressed in space travel, gravity suits? Come to mind to me only horrible high-school physics lessons that I'll probably remember for the rest of life. Take into account that Lewis wrote the first part of this cycle in 1938. How do I know if the world was getting ready to the great war. Was not thought of when rather conquer the cosmos, at most by conquering neighboring countries. And it's hard to believe that Lewis' knowledge about the Universe was particularly extensive. But I suspect that even if that was it, and so this book will look the same. Not uczyłby themselves and their readers astronomy and physics to create a more reliable picture space travel. Lewis had the same goal as always. Enter the world of his novel, philosophy, religion, meditation on the nature of man. And he managed to achieve this. He managed to put it all on Malakandrze, that is ... Mars.
there, because the action takes place the first part of the cycle, namely the book of the Silent Planet, I'd like to at this time the hare on Malakandrę, on board the spacecraft is kidnapped by Dr. Elwin Ransom philology. Grab him by two other researchers seeking to conquer the planet and the theft of the gold deposits. Why philologist? The answer came quickly. Who else would have to learn the language of the inhabitants Malakandry? And all this to fulfill the mission entrusted by a mysterious force caring for the planet. About the same content I will not write anything more. Nonetheless, to address the same Malakandrą. Its landscape would have been difficult for me to describe. Too Lewis did it beautifully, so I can play in any way. And as for its citizens ... They are very similar to humans. Of course it's not about appearance. Talking about feelings, thinking, customs. On Malakandrze we can find different species of rational beings. Some deal with poetry, other astronomy, others are experts craftsmen, and still others are simply invisible spirits. Residents Malakandry since birth know the approximate date of his death. And preparing for it in peace and without any major concerns. We all live here in harmony and agreement, subordinating the will of the dominant creatures on the planet. We have, so the picture a bit utopian. The only thing is to detract from the harmony of life on Mars is the emergence of hostile Tulkandry-beings of the Silent Planet. In short-from Earth. What I liked most in the first part of the trilogy, Lewis? There were a lot of things. However, the most touched me the issues of poor human nature. Skrzywionemu subordinated nature. Who they are, everyone should guess. Themes of greed, the desire to kill and conquer Malakandry residents are completely unknown and obscure.
deserve attention also to the enormous talent of word formation, which was presented by Lewis. Wandering the Malakandrze Ransom, learning new words in the language of its people and reflects on their meaning. At the moment I would prefer to have completed reviews of the first part of the Trilogy interplanetary . My first association after reading of the Silent Planet ? It is a version of Narnia for adults. Similar problems are discussed in more mature manner and in a slightly different, but still a fantastic world. Soon there will be reviews of the next part of the cycle. All undecided on this type of literature, I can only say that is not afraid to define science fiction. In the book of the Silent Planet again We, as Lewis found, such that you already know and love.
