Life in a Thousand Worlds


Leído por LibriVox Volunteers

(4.7 stars; 12 reviews)

A jolly romp, which could be perhaps be described as Gulliver’s Travels Through Our Solar System and Beyond, as written by a great admirer of C. S. Lewis, on a rainy Sunday afternoon, after one too many mugs of cocoa. Includes some thought on alien philosophies and how to apply them to moral and social problems here on Planet Earth.

Unrelated to the book, this was also the one-thousandth project to be started at LibriVox. — (Non-summary by Cori Samuel.) (5 hr 45 min)

Reseñas

Outlandish, Outdated, I love it!


(4 stars)

The title says it all. "Life in a humans imagination fuled by semi-science of the day" might be a more accurate title. Outlandish and outdated speculation on what life on other world's may be like. Includes: three eyed, "solid air" eating, pre-humans with stiff enlarged upper-lips they use for a sense of smell replacing the nose seeded our earth with the beginnings of humanity should say it all...

Most interesting book I've ever read
