7 best short stories by Stanley G. Weinbaum
About this book
In the 1930s, when Stanley G. Weinbaum began writing science fiction, the genre was considered immature, of little artistic value. The stories so far were full of adventures and heroism, but there was little commitment to the depth of the characters and the treatment of science in the narratives. Weinbaum has brought the exact opposite of this to the genre: his stories are rich in scientific content, his characters are realistic and women are not relegated to the role of hero objects.
Critic August Nemo selected seven short stories from this author for you to enjoy the best of science fiction.
This book contains:
