The Collected Stories of Arthur C Clarke
Author: Arthur C. Clarke

Author of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Childhood's End, The City and the Stars, and the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Rendezvous with Rama, Arthur C. Clarke is the most celebrated science fiction author alive. He is—with H. G. Wells, Isaac Asimov, and Robert A. Heinlein—one of the writers who define science fiction in our time. Now Clarke ha... more »s cooperated in the preparation of a massive, definitive edition of his collected shorter works.

Lynda C. (Readnmachine) reviewed The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke on 7/23/2006 + 1462 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

HUGE (966 pages) collection of Clarke's short stories, arranged chronologically from his first professionally published work in 1937, to a fiction piece published in "Nature" magazine in 1999. Outstanding retrospective of one of science fiction's Big Three, and a fascinating view of how quickly Clarke developed as a writer. My own favorite is the novella-length "A Meeting with Medusa", still breathtaking in its concept and detail, 35 years after its initial publication.
