I like this one best of all the few Silverberg books i read. ( ) En Borthan, un planeta colonizado cientos de años atrás, la humanidad vive en paz, sin embargo el precio pagado parece demasiado elevado: nada es considerado más obsceno que el compartir los propios sentimientos con otro humano, y se ha prohibido el uso de la palabra “yo”. Kinnall Darival es un hombre que lo tiene todo en la vida para ser feliz. Solo una cosa le perturba: las convenciones sociales le impiden expresar sus sentimientos a la persona amada. Cuando conoce a Scxhweiz, un comerciante de la Tierra, este le ofrece una sustancia mágica capaz de derribar los muros entre las almas de los hombres. El sistema de valores de Darival se trastoca y experimenta cada vez más dudas que le conducirán a ser un proscrito entre los suyos y a provocar el dolor entre aquellos a los que ama. Robert Silverberg es el autor que más nominaciones ha obtenido para los premios Hugo y Nebula, uno de ellos por Tiempo de cambios, y es unos de los grandes maestros de la ciencia ficción mundial. Sagan gerist í fjarlægri framtíð þar sem Jörðin hefur komið upp plánetum víða um heim. Þær hafa hins vegar öðlast sjálfstætt líf og menningu. Þar sem sagan gerist er forboðið að tala um sjálfan sig í fyrstu persónu. Öll samskipti þurfa að orðast á ópersónulegan máta. Aðalsöguhetjan gerir uppreisn gegn þessari samfélagshefð eftir að hafa kynnst Jarðarbúa og upplifað náin persónuleg samskipti með aðstoð ólöglegs eiturlyfs. Hann hefur trúboð en geldur þess dýru verði. Öflug hugvekja um samfélag þar sem sterk boð og bönn eru alin upp á meðal íbúanna og andstæðingar þeirra eru ekki bara pólitískt afl heldur eru þeir álitnir ráðast að rótum samfélagsins og réttdræpir. Sagan ber þess merki að hún kom út 1972 en þá fékk hún hin virtu Nebula verðlaun og var tilnefnd til Hugo verðlaunanna. This book is more of a cultural and philosophical study than anything else, true 'speculative fiction'. On the planet of Borthan, settled by humans a long time ago, people are extremely self-sufficient. So much so, that 'self-baring' or 'self-sharing' between people is forbidden and verbal references to self are taboo. 'I' and 'me' are obscenities. Because of the lack of openness, almost all interpersonal transactions are handled with contracts. There is a strange sort of religion that makes use of 'drainers', basically confessors. in this setting we meet Darival Kinnall, second son of a ruler of one of the countries. Darival becomes obsessed with this situation and we follow him through the rest of the book. I thought this was quite interesting and well written, but by it's nature it is not full of action and I thought there was a bit too much of Darival's sex life. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Set in the distant future when the vast majority of human beings live on planets other than Earth, each new world with its own form of society, this novel examines the people of Borthan, ruled by a Covenant that teaches the self is to be despised. Everyone is forbidden to reveal innermost thoughts or feelings to another. The filthiest obscenities imaginable are the words "I" and "me." And Borthan has been this way for thousands of years. A few men dare to rebel against this repressive religion and pay with their lives for the heinous crime of selfbaring. But no one has ever represented a more dangerous threat to the Covenant than Kinnall Darival, a prince of the country of Salla. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
