Robert Sheckley Libri
16 luglio 1928 – 9 dicembre 2005
Robert Sheckley fu un titano dell'umorismo fantascientifico, rinomato come prolifico autore di racconti. Le sue opere si addentravano spesso nell'ironia e nelle situazioni assurde, esplorando gli aspetti peculiari e imprevedibili della natura umana e del futuro. Lo stile di Sheckley era caratterizzato da un tocco leggero e arguzia, che rendeva le sue narrazioni accessibili e coinvolgenti per i lettori. Il suo vasto catalogo di racconti e romanzi ha lasciato un'eredità duratura nel genere della fantascienza.
