Engelstalige Space Opera

Bekijk ons aanbod Engelstalige Space Opera

Space opera boeken zijn een subgenre van sciencefiction dat zich meestal afspeelt in de ruimte en vaak een groots en episch avontuur vertelt. De term "space opera" werd voor het eerst gebruikt in de jaren 1940 en verwijst naar de melodramatische en vaak romantische aard van deze verhalen. Typische kenmerken van space opera's zijn intergalactische conflicten, buitenaardse rassen, futuristische technologie en heldhaftige ruimtevaarders. Enkele bekende space opera-boeken zijn de "Star Wars" serie van George Lucas, "Dune" van Frank Herbert en "Foundation" van Isaac Asimov. Space opera's blijven populair onder sciencefiction-fans vanwege hun avontuurlijke verhalen en hun mogelijkheid om de verbeelding te prikkelen met futuristische werelden en technologieën.
