Walter Tevis

From the bestselling author of The Queen's Gambit, the landmark science fiction novel that inspired the classic 1976 film starring David Bowie and is the basis for the Showtime series A man wanders into town one day seemingly out of nowhere. He starts by peddling valuables just to get by. But he possesses uncanny scientific knowledge, which he uses to develop technologies of a marvelous nature. In time he builds a corporate empire that propels him to unimaginable wealth—but to what end? His rapid ascent to the highest levels of success is remarkable, but the vision of his enterprise begins to falter as he succumbs to afflictions that feel all-too-human, and the true purpose of his presence here on earth is in grave danger of being abandoned.

The Man Who Fell to Earth

Mariam Raji

und Bryce sah, dass er weinte. Einen Moment lang stand er da und starrte auf ihn hinab. Dann ging er um den Tisch herum, kniete sich neben ihn und legte seinen Arm um Newtons Rücken. Er hielt ihn sacht fest, spürte, wie der federleichte Körper unter seinen Händen zitterte. Wie ein zarter, flatternder, verängstigter Vogel.
