Raccolta di 16 racconti di Silverberg incentrata sui viaggi nel tempo.

Più che il tanto declamato dal pubblico "Verso Bisanzio", trovo "Stazione Hawksbill" il racconto più "gustoso", profondo (e politico) di tutto il libro.

As a child, I was a voracious sci-fi and fantasy reader. I leaned more into fantasy, especially Piers Anthony, Terry Brooks, and JRR Tolkien, but would also read some Asimov and Bradbury and Heinlein. One day when I was perusing the stacks at the Eastham Library, I came across a colossal book that looked like it was going to be amazing, and it was! That book was "Lord Valentine's Castle," and it was my first introduction to Robert Silverberg. Whenever I needed a break from fantasy, I would retur...

It's ok. Having read some of these in past decades, it was interesting to see them all together in one spot. Some are way, way back from the late 1960's and others far more current.But I was perplexed in that so many themes remained nearly identical, despite having such imaginative and differentiating characterizations and circumstances. And from the trailer, I did think that some of the stories would be from peers of those eras. No, they are all Robert Silverberg.You know, I have become jaded f...

** Full disclosure: I received this book in exchange for an honest review** I have to admit, time travel is not my favorite story theme, in fact, it usually ends up annoying the bejeezus out of me because it's so easy to “cheat” and just handwave away conflicts and problems with timey wimey stuff. Which makes it odd that I requested this as an early review book, but I did so on purpose, I was curious how I would like time travel stories written but such an experienced author. And the end resul...

Time and Time Again is an anthology of sixteen time-travel short stories by Robert Silverberg. That is a completely true statement that fails to capture the vastness of this book at all. Silverberg is a prolific science-fiction writer known for his fascination with time travel, so a collection of his short stories makes perfect sense. He writes short introductions to the stories that put them in the context of his life and writing career, including his work with editors and publishers. The stori...

Few subjects boggle the mind as much as the concept of time, especially when it comes to time travel and all the paradoxes it entails. Put the subject in the very capable hands of Robert Silverberg and you have a great read. This collection of short stories is fantastic and deals with time in various ways. Some of the stories are simply set in a different time period and not necessarily focused on time travel but a couple are about the paradoxes involved in time travel and in my opinion are the ...

I loved this collection of short stories. Silverberg is a master of sci-fi so I had high expectations.
All my expectations were met.
Highly recommended to sci-fi lovers.
Many thanks to Three Rooms Press and Edelweiss for this ARC

Robert Silverberg is one of the first Science Fiction authors I remember reading as a young adult. His stories always seemed to contain that special quality… that euphoria I get when a story sweeps you away. No doubt that is why he is considered among the masters in the field of Science Fiction.In this anthology of time travel stories, Silverberg explores various problems and contradictions that time travel could cause. Despite being a collection of sixteen stories, each story is unique in some ...

Robert Silverberg is widely considered one of the giants of science fiction. In this volume, he collects sixteen of his time travel stories, ranging across the length and breadth of his career from the 1950’s until he stopped writing in 2009. Time travel has always been a profoundly interesting fantasy, filled with paradoxes and conundrums. Silverberg, in these stories, explores quite a few ideas about time travel. There is a wide variety of stories here, all quite different and all fantastic. T...
