Condition: Gut. 571 Seiten, Guter Zustand - sichtbare Gebrauchsspuren am Umschlag. Deutsche Erstveröffentlichung. Aus dem Amerikanischen ("To Sail Beyond the Sunset") übertragen von Thomas Schichtel. Autorenporträt: Robert Anson Heinlein (geboren am 7. Juli 1907 in Butler, Missouri; gestorben am 9. Mai 1988 in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Kalifornien) war ein amerikanischer Science-Fiction-Schriftsteller. Heinlein war das dritte von sieben Kindern von Rex Ivar und Bam Lyle Heinlein. Einige Monate nach seiner Geburt zog die Familie nach Kansas City, Missouri, wo er aufwuchs. 1925 wurde er an der Marineakademie von Annapolis zugelassen und machte dort 1929 seinen Abschluss. Anschließend war Heinlein auf verschiedenen Schiffen, darunter auch auf dem damals modernsten Flugzeugträger der USA, der USS Lexington, stationiert, bevor er 1934 wegen einer Tuberkulose seine Marinekarriere beenden musste. Er studierte Mathematik und Physik an der University of California, Los Angeles, musste dies aber nach einigen Wochen wegen eines Krankheitsrückfalls wieder beenden. Danach versuchte er sich in verschiedenen Berufen, unter anderem mit wenig Erfolg im Silberbergbau, als Politiker und im Immobiliengeschäft, und ging 1938 nahezu bankrott. Heinlein war zweimal verheiratet. Seine erste Ehe mit Leslyn MacDonald dauerte von 1932 bis 1947 und endete mit einer Scheidung. Seine zweite Ehe mit Virginia Doris Gerstenfeld (geboren am 22. April 1916; gestorben am 18. Januar 2003) dauerte von 1948 bis zu seinem Tod. Beide Ehen blieben kinderlos. Am 9. Mai 1988 starb Robert A. Heinlein, nachdem er bereits in den 1970er-Jahren mehrfach lebensbedrohlich erkrankt war, an den Folgen einer Atemwegserkrankung. Heinlein wurde vor allem durch die Ansichten und Werte seiner Zeit beeinflusst, auch seine militärischen Erfahrungen übten starken Einfluss auf seinen Charakter und seine Werke aus. In Tramp Royale, einem postum veröffentlichten Reisebericht aus der McCarthy-Ära, erwähnt er, dass viele Amerikaner im Zusammenhang mit Joseph McCarthy von einer Schreckensherrschaft" sprächen, dass ihm dies aber keinen Schrecken einjage. Er gehört mit Isaac Asimov und Arthur C. Clarke zu den Big Three" ( Großen Drei") der englischsprachigen Science-Fiction-Literatur. Angeregt durch eine Zeitungsanzeige schrieb Heinlein 1939 seine erste Kurzgeschichte Life Line (Rettungsseil), welche in einem Science-Fiction-Magazin (Astounding Science Fiction, Hrsg. John W. Campbell) veröffentlicht wurde. Fortan widmete sich Heinlein nur noch der Literatur. Im Rahmen des Future-History-Zyklus erschienen bis Anfang der 1950er Jahre weitere 16 Kurzgeschichten und vier Romane. Heinlein schuf damit seine Zukunft der Menschheit bis in das 23. Jahrhundert" und gab einen Einblick in die soziale, politische und kulturelle Umwelt seiner Protagonisten. In den folgenden Jahren verfasste Heinlein vor allem eine umfangreiche Sammlung von Science-Fiction-Romanen für Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene, die zunehmend komplexer wurden und 1959 im umstrittenen Starship Troopers kulminierten. 1961 dann markiert Heinleins berühmtester und einflussreichster Roman, Stranger in a Strange Land (deutscher Titel: Fremder in einer fremden Welt), in seinem Werk den Wendepunkt hin zu reifer" Science-Fiction mit weiteren zehn Romanen. Heinleins Bücher hatten auch gesellschaftliche Auswirkungen, so regte Stranger in a Strange Land unter anderem auch die Entwicklung von Vorläufern der Polyamory-Subkultur in den 1960er Jahren mit an. 2014 wurde seine Kurzgeschichte All You Zombies unter dem Titel Predestination von Michael und Peter Spierig mit Ethan Hawke in der Hauptrolle verfilmt. Heinleins Zukunftsfantasien beruhen sehr stark auf den Idealen des Libertarismus, zu dem sich der Autor bekannte. Er zählte zu den erfolgreichsten Autoren der Science-Fiction, da er unter anderem sechsmal den Hugo Award errang und als einer der SFWA- Großmeister der Science-Fiction" galt. Einige Werke Heinleins wurden verfilmt, wie zum Beispiel Rocket Ship Galileo (als Destination Moon, dt. Endstation Mond) und Starship Troopers; Weltraum-Kadetten diente als Vorbild für die Fernsehserie Tom Corbett, Space Cadet. Vor allem anfangs erschienen einige seiner Romane in der Originalsprache oder in Übersetzungen nur in gekürzter Form. In seinen Erzählungen prägte Heinlein diverse Wörter, die zu einem festen Bestandteil der englischen Sprache wurden. Zu den verbreitetsten gehören die Wörter grok" (deutsch groken", in etwa verstehen"), TANSTAAFL" und Waldo" (robotischer Manipulatorarm). Seine Kurzgeschichte Im Kreis (engl. Titel By His Bootstraps) hatte großen Einfluss auf das Genre der Zeitreisegeschichten und gilt als eine der am häufigsten veröffentlichten SF-Kurzgeschichten überhaupt.(aus Wikipedia).

Excerpt: Waldo (1942) is a short story by Robert A. Heinlein originally published in Astounding Magazine in August 1942 under the pseudonym Anson MacDonald. It is available in the book Waldo & Magic, Inc., as well as other collections. This story is not related to the story 'Magic, Inc.' other than both stories being about magic in one form or another. The essence of the story is the journey of a mechanical genius from his self-imposed exile from the rest of humanity to a more normal life, conquering the disease myasthenia gravis as well as his own contempt for humans in general. The key to this is that magic is loose in the world, but in a logical and scientific way. Waldo Farthingwaite-Jones was born a weakling, unable even to lift his head up to drink or to hold a spoon. Far from destroying him, this channeled his intellect, and his family's money, into the development of the device patented as 'Waldo F. Jones' Synchronous Reduplicating Pantograph'. Wearing a glove and harness, Waldo could control a much more powerful mechanical hand simply by moving his hand and fingers. This and other technologies he develops make him a rich man, rich enough to build a home in space. In the story, these devices became popularly known as 'waldoes'. In reference to this story, the real-life remote manipulators that were later developed also came to be called waldoes. Waldo's personality can best be described as arrogance combined with misanthropy. He does not think of himself as crippled. In his mind he is superior to all other humans because of his weakness. He reasons that if a chimpanzee is ten times as strong as a man, and a man is ten times as strong as Waldo, then Waldo is as far above men as men are above chimpanzees. He calls the rest of humanity 'smooth apes'. His home's location, high above the Earth, is symbolic of his relation to them. As the story opens, a dancer is performing feats of astonishing virtuosity on stage. Afterward, in the dressing room, while preparing to depart 30 pp. Englisch.

Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Gendering Time, Timing Gender: The Deconstruction of Gender in Time Travel Fiction is an investigation into how time travel has been used to deconstruct gender and sex in speculative fiction. Specifically, it focuses on how the dismantling of the past/future binary is utilised in the dismantling of the male/female gender binary in four different time travel narratives: Orlando by Virginia Woolf, 'All You Zombies' by Robert A. Heinlein, and The Unintentional Time Traveler by Everett Maroon. Combining queer theory with literary theory, the book explores what the deconstruction of binary gender means and where it leads.
