Odd John : A Story Between Jest and Earnest (Sci-Fi Novel)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Deutschland
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In 'Odd John,' Olaf Stapledon explores the themes of human evolution, societal isolation, and the nature of genius through the life of the titular character, John Wainwright, a superhuman being endowed with extraordinary intellectual and emotional capabilities. Written in a reflective and philosophical style, the novel combines speculative fiction with existential inquiry, posing profound questions about the future of humanity in a rapidly changing world. Stapledon's narrative weaves rich imagery and a contemplative tone, drawing readers into a dialogue about the implications of human advancement and the burden of uniqueness within a conformist society. Olaf Stapledon, a British philosopher and writer, was greatly influenced by the socio-political upheavals of his time, including the aftermath of World War I and the burgeoning interest in psychology and evolutionary theory. His background in philosophy and his experiences during an era ripe with scientific discovery allowed him to craft a narrative that serves as both an imaginative tale and a cautionary reflection on potential human futures. Stapledon's visionary approach invites readers to reflect on their own existence and the collective trajectory of humanity. 'Odd John' is highly recommended for readers interested in speculative fiction, philosophy, and the exploration of what it means to be different. Stapledon's timeless insights and innovative storytelling challenge us to contemplate the ethical and moral dimensions of evolution and progress. This seminal work remains vital for those pondering the essence of humanity in a world increasingly dominated by technology and conformity. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9788028359638
