As a result, he only gets home to Newport, Rhode Island, once every fifty-nine days and then only for an hour.But at least, as a consolation, he now knows everything that has ever happened and everything that ever will be. He knows, for instance, that his wife is going to Mars to mate with Malachi Constant, the richest man in the world. He also knows that on Titan - one of Saturn's moons - is an alien from the planet Tralfamadore, who has been waiting 200,000 years for a spare part for his grounded spacecraft . . . A finalist for the 1960 Hugo Award, The Sirens of Titan was Vonnegut's second novel. It received wide acclaim, and played with ideas of free will and predestination, themes he continued to explore in his later works. In 2015, he was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame.-'The Sirens of Titan is marvellous. It's so funny it made me want to cry' - Infinity Plus'A classic, ripe with wit and eloquence and a cascade of inventiveness' - Brian Aldiss 'His best book . . . He dares not only to ask the ultimate question about the meaning of life, but to answer it' - Esquire

    Ancillary. Justice-Sword-Mercy. Trilogia Imperial Radch. Titan edition

    Su un lontanissimo pianeta coperto di ghiaccio, Breq sta per recuperare l'oggetto di cui è in cerca da tempo ¿ un prezioso manufatto costruito dall'inconoscibile e temutissima specie aliena Presger ¿, quando si imbatte in un corpo semiassiderato nella neve: è Seivarden Vendaai, una persona che Breq credeva morta da mille anni. Perché Breq non è ciò che sembra: diciannove anni, tre mesi e una settimana prima di quel giorno era la "Justice of Toren", una gigantesca astronave da trasporto truppe in orbita attorno al pianeta Shis'urna insieme alle sorelle "Sword" e "Mercy". Come tutte le navi dell'impero Radchaai, la "Justice" è un'intelligenza artificiale che controlla ancelle umane. Ma ora la "Justice" è stata distrutta e della sua coscienza pensante è rimasto solo un frammento: Breq. Chi l'ha devastata ha portato via tutto ciò che le era più caro; solo due cose le rimangono: un fragile corpo umano nel quale sta imparando a nascondersi e un'inesauribile sete di vendetta. Il suo obiettivo è Anaander Mianaai, Lord del Radch, la creatura semi-immortale che da tremila anni detiene il potere assoluto sull'impero grazie alle sue migliaia di corpi interconnessi. La trilogia "Ancillary" disegna un universo originale e ricco di particolari spiazzanti, tanto complesso quanto coerente: un sistema nel quale le intelligenze artificiali si appassionano alla musica polifonica e sono ossessionate dal tè, mentre le differenze di genere non hanno senso. Ann Leckie esplora le sottigliezze psicologiche, i pregiudizi razziali, le passioni politiche e religiose dei suoi personaggi. Ma soprattutto fa ciò che da sempre fa la fantascienza: accompagnare il lettore, tra gigantesche battaglie interplanetarie e viaggi spaziali, alla scoperta di nuovi mondi, dove nessuno è mai giunto prima. Contiene anche i racconti "Il lento veleno della notte" e "Lei comanda e io obbedisco".
