The Complete Short Stories: The 1950s

About this book

A retrospective of classic science fiction tales from the first decade in the long-running career of the Hugo Awardā€“winning author of Non-Stop.
"A writer of imagination and power." ā€”Frederick Pohl
Science Fiction Grand Master Brian W.Ā Aldiss had a career spanning sixty years. Although he is a well-known author of the 1960s and '70s British New Wave style of science fiction, Aldiss's career as a science fiction writer began in the 1950s.
The Complete Short Stories: The 1950s offers the full catalog of Aldiss's stories from his first decade as an author. This volume starts off with his first professional sale, "A Book in Time"ā€”about a bookseller chasing a thief one hundred years into the futureā€”and finishes off with a group of strangers forming a peculiar bond in "Three's a Cloud." By the end of the decade, Aldiss had established himself as a major new voice in science fiction. Together the fifty-eight stories in this retrospective collection offer a look at the burgeoning writer before he became a literary legend.
