Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Andromeda Nebula by Ivan Yefremov Andromeda Nebulası – Ivan Yefremov. Bıktık be kardeşim okurken. 16 gün sürer mi bir kitabı okumak? Bahsettiğim kitap şu an kedimin okuduğu Andromeda Nebulası – Ivan Yefremov . Kedi de okuyor da neyine okuyor anlamadım. Uzun zaman olmuştu galiba bu kadar sıkıcı kitap okumayalı. Aslında başlarında beni biraz heyecanlandırdı. İlk çeyreği filan. Bilmediğimiz gezegenlere yolculuk yapan Sovyetler. Vaayyy. Derken bu grup dışında başka bir grup daha çıktı ortaya, bunlardan bağımsız gözüken ama aslında konu açısından da bir yandan da bağımlı. Bu sonradan ortaya çıkan grupta yerde bir şeyler karıştırıyor. Daha dün bitirmeme rağmen kitaptan nasıl bahsettiğimi görüyorsunuz. Bu eğlenceli geçen ilk bölümden sonra, yerdeki ekiple tanışıyoruz çünkü. Kitabın sonuna kadar, onları anlatan, saçma sapan neden bilmemiz gerektiği belli olmayan uzun pasajlar içinde kendimizi kaybediyoruz. Bu bahsettiğim uzaya giden ekiple bir daha kitabın sonunda bir araya geliyoruz. Kurgu karmaşık, kitabın yaklaşık 300 sayfası “ne anlatıyonuz aq” diyerek okunuyor, saymadım ama en az 30 karakter vardır ismi geçen… İsimlere de kıl oldum. Tamam anlayabiliyorum, enternasyonel bir dünya tasvir edilmiş, bunu da gerek isimlerle gerek ırksal açıdan ( Mven Mas bir siyah) vermeye çalışmışsın sevgili Ivan ama bu ne lan! Birkaç isim örneği; Erg Noor , Dar Veter , Veda Kong , Niza , Miiko . Aklımızda tutamıyoruz kardeşim, kim kimdi, kim napıyodu? Kitabın tanıtım yazısını da şöyle alalım, biraz da burdan sallarız; “Ivan Yefremov, modern bilimkurgunun nasıl yazılması gerektiğini gösterip Sovyet bilimkurgusunun altın çağını başlattı.” Aynı zamanda bir biliminsanı olan Ivan Yefremov, Sovyet Rusya’da bilimkurgu edebiyatının öncülerinden biri. Başta Strugatski Kardeşler olmak üzere birçok Sovyet yazara ilham veren ve onlara yol gösteren belki de en önemli yazar. Andromeda Nebulası da sosyal içeriği ve Yefremov’un sahip olduğu bilimsel bakış açısıyla ilk modern Sovyet bilimkurgusu olarak kabul ediliyor. Kimsenin aç kalmadığı, fakirliğin yok olduğu, sınıf ayrımının ortadan kalktığı, insanların potansiyellerinin zirvelerine ulaşmak için tüm imkânlara sahip oldukları klasik bir komünist ütopya anlatısı Andromeda Nebulası. Zamanın bilimsel gelişmelerini sonuna kadar kullanmakla kalmayıp geleceğin toplumları hakkında çağdaşı bilimkurguların ötesinde şeyler söylemeyi de beceren, bunu yaparken macera dolu bir hikâye anlatmayı ihmal etmeyen bir kitap. Sevgili Boris Strugatski seni zaten hiç sevmiyorum, kardeşini de sevmiyorum. Klasik dahil Rus Edebiyatı’yla nedense bir barışamadım. Sovyetik uzay, toplum, sanat neyse her birine ilgi duymama rağmen… Laf arasında biraz da şekil diyelim; siz de böyle konulara ilgi duyuyorsanız Sakıp Sabancı Müzesi ‘ndeki Rus Avangardı sergisini görmelisiniz. Tanıtım yazısına döneceğim, tabi ki bunlara göre her kitap şaheser. Aldanmayın. Hayattan soğumak istemiyorsanız para vermeniz gereken bir kitap değil. Bilim kurgu ya da roman keyfinden ziyade, Sovyet ideali, toplum anlayışı, bilime bakış açısı vs. gibi sosyolojik çıkarımlar peşindeyseniz ‘bakmanıza fayda var’ diyebilirim.

Andromeda (novel) Andromeda: A Space-Age Tale a.k.a. Andromeda Nebula (Russian: Туманность Андромеды , Tumannost' Andromedy ) is a science fiction novel by the Russian writer and paleontologist Ivan Efremov, [1] written and published in 1957. The novel was made into a film in 1967, The Andromeda Nebula . Contents. Plot summary 1 Literary significance & criticism 2 Characters 3 Crew of the First Class space ship "Tantra" 3.1 Characters of Earth 3.2 Men 3.2.1 Women 3.2.2. Plot summary. The book portrays Efremov's conception of a classic communist utopia set in the distant future. Throughout the novel, the author's attention is focused on the social and cultural aspects of the society, and the struggle to conquer vast cosmic distances. There are several principal heroes, including a starship captain, two scientists, a historian, and an archeologist. Though the world shown in the novel is intended as ideal, there's an attempt to show a conflict and its resolution with a voluntary self-punishment of a scientist whose reckless experiment caused damage. There's also a fair amount of action in the episodes where the crew of a starship fight alien predators. In the novel, several civilizations across our galaxy, including Earth, are united in the Great Circle , whose members exchange and relay scientific and cultural information. Notably, faster-than-light travel or communication does not exist in the time portrayed in the book, and one of the minor plot lines examines a failed attempt to overcome this limitation. The radio transmissions around the Great Circle are pictured as requiring a tremendous amount of energy, and are thus infrequent. One of the main plot lines follows the crew of the space-craft Tantra led by Captain Erg Noor, dispatched to investigate the sudden radio silence of one of the nearby Great Circle planets. The crew travels to the planet, and discovers that most life on it has been destroyed by unsafe experimentation with radioactivity. On their return journey, the Tantra is scheduled to meet a carrier spacecraft to refuel, but the second ship does not make the rendezvous. The crew attempts the return voyage with a bare minimum of fuel, but is trapped by the gravitational field of an "iron star" (some form of compact star in modern terms). The crew lands on one of its planets, where they discover the wreck of a previous expedition, as well as a mysterious alien spacecraft. After fighting off the native life-form, the crew retrieve the remaining fuel supplies from the wreck and succeed in returning to earth. The second major plot line follows Darr Veter, the director of the global space agency as he makes way for a successor and then attempt to find a new job for himself. When his successor voluntarily steps down as punishment for a daring experiment that goes wrong, Veter returns to the position. The book closes with the launch of a new expedition, once again led by Noor, to a pair of new planets that offer the possibility of human colonisation. It is a bittersweet ending, as the cosmonauts themselves will not live long enough to return. Literary significance & criticism. Critics have accused this novel of being dry and illustrative , its heroes being more of philosophical ideas than live people. Nevertheless, the novel was a major milestone in Soviet SF literature, which, in Stalin's era, had been much more short-sighted (never venturing more than a few decades into the future) and primarily focusing on technical inventions rather than social issues (the so-called "short aim" SF).

Ivan Yefremov was a Russian writer of science fiction, and an awarded scientist, the founder of Taphonomy. He was born Ivan Antonovich Efremov in 1908, in Vyritsa, St. Petersburg province, Russia, but later, during the Russian Civil War, Efremov added one year to his age stating April 22, 1907, as his date of birth. His father, named Anton Efremov, was a lumber merchant in Russia. His mother, named Varvara Aleksandrovna (nee Ananieva), was from a family of farmers. Young Efremov was showing early signs of a child prodigy, he was reading voraciously from age 4, and was fond of books by Jules Verne. In 1913 the Efremovs family moved to Berdiansk an the Azov Sea. There Efremov studied at Classical Gymnasium. During the Russian Revolution of 1917, his family suffered from severe financial and property losses, his parents separated, and young Efremov was on his own and was struggling to survive. In 1919 he joined the Red Army during the Russian Civil War. He was severely wounded in 1920, and suffered from a mild speech disorder for the rest of his life. In 1921 he returned to Petrograd (St. Petersburg) and worked as a driver to make ends meet. In 1923 Efremov studied at Petrograd School of Navigation, and, after passing a navigation test, he joined the crew of a ship and spent a year sailing along the Pasific Coast of the Russian Far East. He returned to Leningrad in the fall of 1924 and had a meeting with academician Sushkin who became a teacher and a father figure for Efremov. Under the guidance of Sushkin, he began studies at the Museum of Zoology and at Department of Biology at Leningrad University. Efremov became involved in field expeditions, he advanced in his studies and research in Paleobiology and Archaeology, then transfered to Institute of Paleonthology. Eventually he continued his studies at the Leningrad Mining Institute, from which he graduated after passing external exams with honors in 1935. At that time he became a Laboratory Head at the Institute of Paleonthology and member of paleontological expeditions, and traveled many times to Volga region, Ural Mountains, Central Asia, and to Siberia. In 1941 Efremov earned his Doctorate in Biology. During the 1940s and 1950s Efremov participated in many geological and paleontological expeditions in Trans-Caucasus, Central Asia, Far East, and Siberia. He made several scientific discoveries including the discovery in 1946-1949 of the mysterious "Valley of Dinosaurs" in Southern Goby Desert in Mongolia. At that time Efremov summarized his research and discoveries and became the founder of Taphonomy, a branch of paleontology studying death and ossification of dead organisms applied to geological formations and the time-line of Planet Earth. In 1950 Yefremov published his research on Taphonomy, and in 1952 he was awarded the State Prize of the USSR for his research and discoveries. He predicted the locations and discovery of diamond mines in Siberia. In 1958 he traveled to China and was among the founding members of a Russian-Chinese paleontological expedition. However, he was not a communist, so his career was limited to research and he expressed himself in writing. Ivan Efremov started writing fiction during his illness in 1942. His writings were praised by Aleksei Tolstoy. Efremov published his first collection of stories in 1944. In 1946 he published a collection of stories titled 'Almaznaia Truba' (aka.. The Diamond Tube) predicting the development of diamond industry in Siberian Russia. His popular novel, 'Tumannost Andromedy' (The Andromeda Nebula 1957), was Efremov's answer to anti- Utopian books by 'Evgeni Zamyatin' and Aldous Huxley. Efremov wrote about a United Mankind with highly developed sciences and social life, it was translated in many languages and brought him fame. In 1967 the first part of 'Tumannost Andromedy' was adapted to film as _Tumannost Andromedy. Plenniki Zheleznoi Zvezdy (1967)_ (aka.. The Andromeda Nebula. Prisoners of the Iron Star). The film was a big success with audiences, albeit Efremov was not satisfied with that adaptation. In 1963 he published 'Lezvie Britvy' (aka.. The Razor's Edge), a novel dealing with extreme abilities of human mind. While the official Soviet ideology was trying to use Efremov's popular success by presenting his books as an idealistic description of communism, Efremov distanced himself from the Communist propaganda, he never joined the Soviet Communist Party, and, even worse, his writings contained some witty criticism of social problems in China, USA and the Soviet Union. In 1968 he published a visionary novel 'Chas Byka' (The Hour of Bull). It described an oligarchy and dictatorship on planet Tormans in the future juxtaposed to society on planet Earth, alluding to restoration of Stalinism under the rule of Leonid Brezhnev. The book immediately became a rarity; it was banned for having such lines as: "There are no heroes, there are only bad executors", and Efremov was interrogated by the KGB. His apartment was searched by the KGB, and his manuscripts and writings were confiscated and banned. His book 'Chas Byka' was confiscated from all public libraries and schools of the Soviet Union. Efremov was attacked by the Soviet official censorship, he could not publish his literary works any more and remained under suspicion and surveillance for the rest of his life. He died of a heart failure on October 5, 1972, in St. Petersburg (then Leningrad), Russia. Efremov's last book, titled 'Tais Afinskaia' (aka.. Thais of Athens), represents his vision of human harmony through the story of the legendary hetaera of Athens. It was published posthumously with dedication to his wife, Taisia Iosifovna Efremova.
