Το βιβλιαράκι αυτό περιείχε σύντομες ιστορίες του συγγραφέα που ανήκουν στην κατηγορία του scifi. Στις ιστορίες αυτές φαίνεται το μέγεθος της φαντασίας του συγγραφέα και είναι όλες τους καλογραμμένες. Δεν ήταν όμως κάτι που με ξετρέλανε αλλά θα ήθελα να διαβάσω και κάτι άλλο από τον συγγραφέα για να έχω μια καλύτερη άποψη.

Beautiful and engaging book, Without Colours was my definite favourite. I've saved 2 quotes:
Spoiler
1. "To survive that ultraviolet you couldn't be too demanding. Above all the lack of atmosphere asserted itself in many ways; you take meteors for example: they fell like hail from all the points of space, because then we didn't have the stratosphere where nowadays they strike, as if on roof, and disintegrate. Then there was the silence: no use shouting! Without air to vibrate, we were all deaf and dumb."
2. "(...) I realized her place could never have been out here. And I realized, with grief and fear, that I had remained out here, that I would never again be able to escape those gilded and silvered gleams, those little clouds that turned from pale blue to pink, those green leaves that yellowed every autumn, and that Ayl's perfect world was lost for ever, so lost I couldn't even imagine it any more, and nothing was left that could remind me of it, even remotely, nothing except perhaps that cold wall of grey stone."
