Stranger in a Strange Land

Robert A. Heinlein

4.9/5 (16334 ratings)

Description:For the first time the original uncut Stranger in a Strange Land. Thirty years ago, G.P. Putnam‘s Sons published a novel that not only would become the bible of the "love generation" but also would transcend the science fiction genre to achieve the status of a modern classic – and sell millions of copies. The book was Robert a Heinlein‘s earthy "divine comedy," Stranger in a Strange Land – the epic saga of an earthling, born and educated on Mars, who arrives on our planet with superhuman powers and a total ignorance of the mores of man. His name is Valentine Michael Smith, and he is destined to become a freak, a media commodity, a scam artist, a searcher, a sexual pioneer, a neon evangelist, a martyr, and, finally, a messiah. To commemorate the thirieth anniversary of its original publication, Putnam proudly presents the uncut version of this watershed work. Here is every word, every turn of phrase, exactly as Heinlein intended it. Bigger, richer than its predecessor, this edition describes a geopolitical world and a post-holocaust America considerably more plausible today than in 1961. Here, fully presented for the first time, is all the irreverence, all the irony, all the frank sensuality for which Stranger is legendary. Here, too, are the roots of New Age culture as they were first embraced by a freer generation thirty years ago. For Heinlein fans and science fiction buffs, for the millions of readers who took Stranger in a Strange Land to their hearts, and for a whole new generation in search of the spirited and spiritual, the publication of this uncut version is indeed cause for celebration.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
