This is the best book of its kind in at least
two decades. It is a literate, intelligent book of powerful
SF stories from across Europe.
These
tales are representativeof the best writers and stories of
the last twenty years, written in most of the major
contemporary European languages.
The SFWA European Hall of Fame
includes someof the biggest SF names in Europe, including
Joanna Sinisalo, Andreas Eschbach, Elena Arseneva, and
Jean-Claude Dunyach. The appeal of this anthology rests
first upon the venerable SFWA Hall of Fame
imprimatur, and secondly on the sterling reputation of
co-editor/writer James Morrow.
Morrow
and his wife Kathryn spent years arranging for translations
of the best in European SF, and working with translators to
achieve sharp, polished, and entertaining English versions
of the stories.
James Morrow has
written a thought-provoking introductory essay, as well as
informative story notes throughout the collection. This
anthology joins the canonical SFWA Hall of Fame books
that have sold hundreds of thousands of copies over four
decades, and belongs in every library of SF, personal or
public.
