  2. Good narration, good text Perhaps a little too concise, with so many big concepts to unveil in the progress of the story.Slated for one of the SRC2017WINTER tasks needing author s initials RS I forget which one without my blueprint.

  3. As usual, Silverberg does a fine job with the style of writing of this novella Its literary device is a series of letters from Roy to his love Laura They are both time travelers from our future to the distant past Stephen Hawking famously said, If time travel is possible, where are all the tourists from the future view spoiler In Letters from Atlantis, the time travelers are disembodied entities, living hidden in the minds of people who lived twenty thousand years ago Roy is embedded in the mind [...]

  4. Enjoyable, and for the most part artfully told a few repetitions at the start than made up for lovely descriptions in the second half Would have rated a star higher, though I m not in the intended age group, if not for the fact that the bar for time travel with Silverberg is so high And for younger audiences, I liked PROJECT PENDULUM just a bit .

  6. Mezcla entre relato corto y ensayo muy curioso El libro parte de una idea muy original para situarnos en la anhelada Atl ntida, los viajes en el tiempo a nivel de conciencia Y los hechos se describen gracias a la correspondencia de una pareja de viajeros L stima que no se desarrolle m s la trama y la acci n del libro, genera inter s por saber m s cosas Aunque tambi n es verdad que la s ntesis de los hechos y el enfoque en las ideas b sicas hacen que fluya el pensamiento y las preguntas.

  9. Every so often I read a sci fi novel to try to understand why others like them I always fail This one seems to draw inspiration from Ursula LeGuin s LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS, a novel about the anthropology of a planet This one is about discovering the anthropology of Atlantis.The book goes astray is numerous ways It is a time travel story in that the anthropologist is from the future His consciousness is somehow shot into the mind of an Atlantian prince How Not explained It seem absurd that one min [...]

  10. A short, simple story about a time researcher from the future who hitchhikes in the mind of a prince from the far, far distant past The story is told in the form of letters from the time traveler to his lover, who is riding in the mind of a high official of the same era, several thousand miles away The letters are actually put on paper by the prince himself, under nighttime hypnosis, and sent by regular mail that this is extremely ill advised doesn t matter, and it also doesn t matter that for t [...]

  12. Weird I just picked up this short book on CD because of its length, and because I am experimenting with fantasy sci fi stories Bizarre, kind of silly, not really satisfying But it was different, in the very least And short.And I think it was intended for younger readers in the end, which I did not know at the time.Good road trip book, when you do not want to have to think too much, and want to kill some time Maybe good taking a crap material for those of you who need that.

  13. As the name suggests this is an epistolary novel, where a guy who travels into the pre civilized past into the mind of a prince from the lost continent of Atlantis in a similar fashion to Sam Beckett from Quantum Leap It turns out that the Atlantisians have traveled millions of miles from their doomed planet only to land on a doomed continent Really nothing new under the sun here, but it was nice short novel I actually listened to the audiobook version and it went very quickly.
