The Ring of Ritornel

Birgit Reß-Bohusch

Todeskandidat Erde (The ring of ritornel, dt.) Utop. Roman

"Fantascienza per grande schermo, fantascienza barocca, fantascienza pura. Così Brian Aldiss ha definito questo romanzo, pubblicato negli USA nel 1953 e rimasto a lungo sconosciuto in Europa. È una riscoperta coloratissima, ricchissima, traboccante: imperatori americani, mutanti, torturatori, schiavi, la Società dei Ladri, la Mente Microfilmica, l'invasione neanderthaliana, i duelli, i balli, le maschere, le spie, i semidei, le fughe, le esecuzioni, le ciurme paranoiche delle stazioni solari, i salti temporali e spaziali, tutto si avvolge spettacolarmente attorno a un enigma centrale, e precipita verso la soluzione in una vertiginosa sequenza dove la perfetta serietà non esclude il perfetto divertimento." Carlo Fruttero & Franco Lucentini
