Reseña del editor:

From his first published story, Stanley Weinbaum seemed destined to become one of the greats of science fiction, until his career was tragically cut short after a mere year and a half. That first story, “A Martian Odyssey,” was considered to be one of the three most influential science fiction stories by Isaac Asimov. With its portrayal of the alien, Tweel, it set a new standard for imagination and altered the course of science fiction for ever. Each of those that followed were equally as ground breaking in their own right. While “A Martian Odyssey” has been anthologized numerous times, the rest of his work has been less available. Now, Resurrected Press is proud to offer you this collection of all his short stories including: A Martian Odyssey, Valley of Dreams, The Worlds of If, The Ideal, The Point of View, Parasite Planet, The Lotus Eaters, The Planet of Doubt, Flight on Titan, The Red Peri, The Mad Moon, Redemption Cairn, Pygmalion’s Spectacles, The Adaptive Ultimate, Proteus Island, The Circle of Zero, The Brink of Infinity, Shifting Seas

Biografía del autor:

Stanley Grauman Weinbaum (April 4, 1902-December 14, 1935) was born in Louisville, Kentucky and grew up in Milwaukee. He studied Chemical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin, Madison before switching his major to English. He left the university in 1923 without graduating. His first science fiction story, “A Martian Odyssey,” was published in 1934. His promising career was cut tragically short when he died less than eighteen months later of lung cancer. Highly regarded by his peers, “A Martian Odyssey” was selected by the Science Fiction Writers of America for inclusion in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Vol. I. In 2008 he was selected for the Cordwainer Smith Rediscovery Award. A number of his stories were published after his death, including several that were finished by either his sister or Roger Sherman Hoar.
