Aniara:
An Epic Science Fiction Poem

by Harry Martinson.

Published by Story Line Press.
First published 1956.
ISBN-10: 1885266634
ISBN-13: 978-1885266637

Description:

Aniara is a great space epic and a story of an inner journey of the soul – at once a warning of despair in the age of nuclear weapons and ecological threats, and perhaps the fullest expression of Harry Martinson's lifelong project to show us man's attempt to see himself and his role in creation. Aniara was first published in 1956 and received a great reception. But it is perhaps only today that the verse epic fully emerges as one of the most artistically and intellectually challenging works of our time.

Aniara

by Harry Martinson.

Introduction by Tord Hall.

Translated by Hugh MacDiarmid & E. Harley Schubert.

Description:

"Who could foresee that just this flight, all in the day’s work as it seemed, was singled out to be unique and doomed to bear us all away from Earth and Sun, Venus and Mars, and life’s entire environment?"

Featuring 11 beautiful illustrations and dozens of hours of behind-the-scenes videos documenting the artwork's creation.

Nobel laureate Harry Martinson's 1956 sci-fi epic, translated by Hugh MacDiarmid and Elspeth Harley Schubert. A passenger ship is lost in space during a routine journey, and its 8,000 inhabitants must somehow come to terms with their new life. What awaits them in the bitter Galactic night?
