Publisher: Del Rey Book NY 1986 ISBN 0-345-33219-9 Approx. size: 6.25 x 9.25 inches The Songs of Distant Earth is a 1986 science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke based upon his 1958 short story of the same title. The novel tells of a utopian human colony in the far future that is visited by travelers from a doomed Earth, as the Sun has gone nova. The Songs of Distant Earth explores both apocalyptic and utopian ideas, as well as the effects of long-term interstellar space travel and extra-terrestrial life. The novel is set in the early 3800s and takes place almost entirely on the faraway oceanic planet of Thalassa. Thalassa has a small human population sent there by way of an embryonic seed pod, one of many sent out from Earth in an attempt to continue the human race before the Earth was destroyed. Beautiful vintage condition without jacket. Spotless interior. Faint red remainder mark on bottom close to spine. Please see photos, enlarge and email with any questions prior to purchase.
