Description

Writer of the best-selling Dhalgren and champion of four Nebulas and one Hugo, Samuel R. Delany is among the most acclaimed authors of speculative fiction. Babel-17, winner of the Nebula Award for best book of the entire year, is just a fascinating story of the well-known poet bent on deciphering a secret language that's the important thing to the enemy’s lethal force, an activity that demands she travel with a wonderfully unbelievable team to the website of the following assault. For the very first time, Babel-17 is printed whilst the author meant with the brief story Empire Star, the story of Comet Jo, an easy-minded teenager thrust right into a complicated universe when he’s trusted to transport an important message to a remote planet.
