توضیحات
Every bit as ambitious and prophetic as the film that shared its inception, Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey remains a towering science-fiction classic. This Folio Society edition sees it illustrated for the first time.
Developed from Arthur C. Clarke’s short story "The Sentinel," 2001: A Space Odyssey was brainstormed together with legendary film director Stanley Kubrick and written alongside the screenplay. This spectacular edition includes the foreword written jointly by Clarke and Kubrick, as well as Clarke’s "Back to 2001" preface written in 1989. An exclusive introduction by Clarke’s long-standing colleague Michael Moorcock reveals much of his friend’s personality, as well as casting a new light on the fractious relationship between Clarke and Kubrick. The edition is finished with a holographic foil binding that features a design by Joe Wilson. The British artist has also created seven remarkable illustrations, which interpret Clarke’s futuristic vision with an otherworldly detachment that is both chilling and exhilarating.
A LANDMARK WORK OF SPECULATIVE FICTION
A powerful exploration of space, artificial intelligence and the destiny of humanity, 2001: A Space Odyssey is a visionary work that has had an indelible impact on both cinema and genre literature. Arthur C. Clarke was a dedicated proponent of space exploration and the chairman of the British Interplanetary Society, and his enthusiasm for the subject is evident in his detailed descriptions of space travel. Yet for all its scientific realism, this is a frightening, extraordinary and undoubtedly joyful trip to the very limits of human experience.
PRESCIENT WRITING AHEAD OF ITS TIME
Clarke’s novel moves at a thrilling pace. From the appearance of the first monolith on prehistoric Earth, which unnerves the man-apes who are the ancestors of the human race; to a chilling episode on board the Discovery, when a mission to Saturn is jeopardized; to the isolated David Bowman exploring a "Grand Central Station of the Galaxy." Full of prescient details and uncanny references that will seem very familiar to modern readers, 2001 was ahead of its time and remains one the best-selling and most influential books in the genre.

Set in Cartier Book with Univers for display
