2001: A Space Odyssey
"What? Only three interview requests overnight? Has the world forgotten
me already?" was the e-mail response from Sir Arthur to a New York
Times interview request the first week of 2001. Obviously, he has been
very busy in the beginning of a year forever linked to his name. In 1968,
Stanley Kubrick finished a science fiction epic film after nealy three
years of production based on a short story by then just plain Arthur C.
Clarke (The
Sentinel, 1948). The rest was history, as they say...
Arthur C. Clarke was born in Minehead,Somerset on December 16, 1917 and
was an avid collector of pulp fiction magazines. He pursued a Bachelor
of Science degree in physics, and pure and applied mathematics at King's
College, London. Clarke became chairman of the British Interplanetary
Sociey and recruited George Bernard Shaw as well as many other new members
in the mid 1940s. He met C.S.Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkein at Oxford. Clarke
published his first novel Prelude
to Space in 1947. He was awarded a CBE in 1989 and was knighted
in 1998. Today, Sir Arthur lives in Sri Lanka and continues to amaze everyone
with his unique foresight and creative thought.

 The Invisible Man: A Grotesque Romance (Modern Library Classics) -H. G. Wells - A gripping and entertaining tale of terror and suspense as well as a potent Faustian allegory of hubris and science run amok, The Invisible Man endures as one of the signature stories in the literature of science fiction. A brilliant scientist uncovers the secret to invisibility, but his grandiose dreams and the power he unleashes cause him to spiral into intrigue, madness, and murder. The inspiration for countless imitations and film adaptations, The Invisible Man is as remarkable and relevant today as it was a hundred years ago. As Arthur C. Clarke points out in his Introduction, “The interest of the story . . . lies not in its scientific concepts, but in the brilliantly worked out development of the theme of invisibility. If one could be invisible, then what?”List Price:$8.00
