  • Carol Janice Cherryh – Biografie
    Carol Janice Cherryh – biografie Vydáno dne 13. 11. 2005 První dáma science fiction, tak je někdy označována jedna z nejvýznamnějších spisovatelek žánru SF C. J. Cherryh. Prvního září 2004 oslavila již své dvaašedesáté narozeniny. Pojďme se podívat, jak se vyvíjela její spisovatelská dráha, co vlastně chce svým čtenářům říci, které nádherné kousky si můžete přečíst v češtině. Když Thiye vládl Hjemuru Cizinců houf jel krajem tím Tři byli tmaví, jeden byl zlatý Mrazivá běl šla s posledním Ve vlasech sníh, sám osud ji hnal, Proklet buď, kdo by jí věřil! Dnes mužů je málo jen a vlků víc Večer už v noc se šeří Mládí Carolyn se narodila 1. září 1942 v Saint Louis, stát Missouri. Přesto si vybudovala vztah k Baltimoru, ve kterém během války žili a pracovali její rodiče. Matka byla sekretářkou na úřadě pro rytectví a tisk. Brzy se však přestěhovali do St. Louis, kde se jim zanedlouho narodila Carolyn Janice Cherry. Válka skončila a rodiče se rozhodli, že obnoví přátelské styky s rodinou v Oklahomě. Tam také „sídžej“ vyrostla a navštěvovala povinnou školní docházku. V rozhovorech uvádí, že psát začala už v deseti letech a ve čtrnácti zažila první nepříjemný pocit odmítnutí její práce. Ráda také chodila do knihkupectví a dívala se zejména po fantastických románech. V té době si udělala průzkum o vydavatelích a prodávaných autorech, jejich stylu. Vzala jsem do rukou jeden z příběhů Fritze Leibera a podrobně ho prostudovala. (Brána vyhnanství, str. 412). První titul, bakaláře svobodných umění v oboru latina, získala na University of Oklahoma. Nástup na „skutečnou“ vysokou byl malým zázrakem, nebo? C.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Alien Stars by C.J. Cherryh Alien Stars by C.J
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Alien Stars by C.J. Cherryh Alien Stars by C.J. Cherryh. Tc'a are yellow, leathery, and snakelike in appearance, and are most well known for having multiple brains. They also have some sort of symbiotic relationship with one of the Compact's other methane-breathing species, the spiderlike Chi, whose homeworld lies within Tc'a space. What exactly this relationship entails is unknown. Their means of reproduction are rather peculiar. Tc'a fission off a small, new Tc'a when placed under extreme stress. This has been observed in a moment when a Tc'a's life was in danger. It's not known what level of stress or danger is needed to trigger this reaction. Culture and society [ edit | edit source ] Tc'a speech sounds like layered multitonal wails. Single-brained species (like humans) almost always need technological assistance to communicate with them, and even then, messages read out as a seven-part matrix that can be interpreted in any direction. Another Compact member-species, the oxy-breathing Stsho, appear to be able to communicate more directly. Tc'a are the most interactive of the Compact's methane breathers, and almost exclusively handle methane-side operations at Meetpoint Station, the physical center (and trade zone) of the Compact. Tc'a are the only ones able to communicate meaningfully (if there is such a concept) with the mysterious Knnn. Alien Stars by C J Cherryh. Spine creases, wear to binding and pages from reading.
