Ako je Internet Explorer moguće da ima neke veze sa security podešavanja, pošto je https link.
Oće li ovako (samo se izbaci 's' iz 'https'):

Stvar je u tome da ako izbacim s sa kraja https onda ne izbaci ceo plejlist i ne nastavi automatski na sledeći već stane nakon prvog dela (od trinaest).

Pošto me scallop stalno kritikuje što kupujem knjige po buvljacima, evo dokaza da tamo zaista mogu da se nađu i nemoguće stvari.
I nek' vam on objasni zašto je ovo gotovo nemoguće...

Свака част теби. Која ли је будала продала нешто што постоји у десетак примерака?


ПС. Напомињем да је илустрација једна од мени дражих БоБових, а оригинал ми виси на зиду. У примерку постоји још четири и на једној је аутопортрет Бобов из времена кад је био мршав или је тако себе, мршавог, замишљао.

Ovo izdanje "Zemlje za dobre ljude" je urađeno u 16 primeraka "za prijatelje". Svaki primerak je potpisan od strane Boba i Radmila.
Nažalost, ne smem da skeniram Bobove ilustracije, jer bi se primerak raspao.


Naravno da ovo nije prodao niko ko bi znao šta prodaje.
Verovatno je bio u posedu nekoga ko je prestao da se zanima za SF (tipa Billy Trey-a), pa je dospeo u podrum i odatle na buvljak...
Ili je, nedaj bože...


PS. Ovaj primerak koji sam kupio se razlikuje od mog primerka, jer je korica žućkasta (za bate), a moja je rozikasta (za seke).
Pored toga, u ovom primerku su, posle romana, uvezane fotokopije nekih tvojih priča, dok je u mom primerku samo roman...

Quote




Dear Miss Kidd, 


Ursula K. Le Guin writes extremely well, but I'm sorry to
have to say that on the basis of that one highly distinguishing quality alone I
cannot make you an offer  for the novel. The book is so endlessly complicated by
details of reference and information, the interim legends become so much of a
nuisance despite their relevance, that the very action of the story seems to be
to become hopelessly bogged down and the book, eventually, unreadable. The whole
is so dry and airless, so lacking in pace, that whatever drama and excitement
the novel might have had is entirely dissipated by what does seem, a great deal
of the time, to be extraneous material. My thanks nonetheless for having thought
of us. The manuscript of The Left Hand of Darkness is returned herewith.
Yours sincerely, 


The Editor 


21 June, 1968

Sense of Wonder – A Century of Science Fiction

Sense of Wonder is a broad, inexpensive, single-volume anthology designed to give students a sense both of literature and history. By far the most comprehensive speculative fiction textbook available, Sense of Wonder includes canonical works, stories written in response to those works, and essays on major themes and topics in the field. The book will facilitate a variety of different types of speculative fiction course, whether the course is focused on particular themes, on a chronological look at writers, or on the roots of contemporary SF. Beginning with nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century writers,Sense of Wonder continues up through the most acclaimed present-day writers. Stories are not treated as purely academic exercises, but contextualized, which is vital in reading a genre where most writers know each other and the relationship between writer and reader is a major factor in how stories are created.

The collection includes 225 stories, poems, and bibliographic essays (contributed by professors who teach science fiction and by SF professionals), with an emphasis on the roots of modern SF. Each story author is given a biographical introduction as well.


Features

       
  • By far the most comprehensive teaching anthology available for SF – at about two million words it's more than twice as long as competing works.
  • Available in both book and ebook editions – Only $49.99 for the book and $39.99 for the ebook (or $69.99 for a book and ebook bundle). [NOTE: currently on sale on Amazon.com for $22.79]
  • A wide variety of stories by both major names and lesser-known but influential writers.
  • Dozens of essays introducing topics in the field, ranging from space opera to cyberpunk, from early radio dramas to postcolonial SF, from John W. Campbell and his writers to disability in science fiction. Essays are by SF professors, scholars of the field, and SF professionals.
  • A generous sampling of science fictional poetry – an important part of the field that's often missing from textbooks.
  • Short biographical introductions to each author
  • An appendix geared to aspiring SF writers, with overviews on submitting manuscripts, literary agents, avoiding publishing scams, writers' workshops, and more.

The Defining Science Fiction Books of the 1970s     
Posted on April 9, 2013 by jameswharris   

What started as a review of American Science Fiction: The Nine Classic Novels of the 1950s, has put me on a quest to organize my memories of the great science fiction books, decade by decade, and year by year.  Back in the mid-90s I created The Classics of Science Fiction website.  Then I wrote The Greatest Science Fiction Novels of the 20th Century about the science fiction books that people who don't read science fiction might know.  I'm preoccupied with how people remember science fiction, well at least the literary form.  Recently I wrote The Defining Science Fiction Books of the 1960s which is getting more hits than usual for my blog, so that makes me think other people are like me – looking back, trying to remember all their favorite science fiction books from childhood.

The Futurians and the 1939 World Science Fiction Convention





The Futurians were pissed. It was July 2nd 1939, and the first ever World Science Fiction Convention, Nycon I, was about to begin. The convention was held in conjunction with the New York World's Fair, with an appropriate theme: "The World of Tomorrow."  Long anticipated by the region's fans, six members of the fan group—Donald Wollheim, Frederik Pohl, John Michel, Robert A. W. Lowndes and Jack Gillespie—weren't allowed through the doors by James Taurasi, one of the convention's organizers. The confrontation was the culmination of a series of rivalries and personality conflicts that defined the early days of Science Fiction fandom.

The Futurians were a notable science fiction fan group that came together in 1938. In his book about the group, Damon Knight described them as "a group of hungry young science fiction fans and would-be writers which evolved into a sort of subculture: the Futurians had their own communal dwellings, their folklore, songs and games, even their own mock religion." Science Fiction fandom, like the existence of a dedicated genre magazine, found its roots in the efforts of magazine publisher Hugo Gernsback, who recognized the importance of having a reliable subscription base.  To aid his publishing efforts, he put together the Science Fiction League, whose members corresponded with one another about all things SF and met in local chartered clubs.

Gernsback's ecosystem of fans and publications wasn't universally successful, partially due to his publishing practices. Aspiring author Donald Wollheim submitted a story to one of Gernsback's publications, Wonder Stories, which was accepted and published. However, in true Gernsbackian fashion, Wollheim was shorted his payment, and was only paid when he hired a lawyer. He found that there were other authors with similar frustrations, and attended a local meeting of the Science Fiction League, where he met three other fans: Robert Lowndes, John Michel and Frederik Pohl to complain about the treatment faced with Wonder Stories.

Gernsback's franchise of chartered clubs weren't the only organized fan groups in existence: Others were springing up, utilizing the formal Robert's Rules of Order as a guide. There was the Brooklyn Science Fiction League, the East New York Science Fiction League, the International Scientific Association and others in the New York region, and each group had a small circle of fans that came together locally, printed their own fanzines and generally obsessed over the latest magazines and stories that they had read.

Simons se na fbu nesto malko raznezio nad Elisonom
Quote(Wed. afternoon, June 12, and I just received an
energetic and upbeat phone call from my dear friend and one-time mentor Harlan
Ellison -- who, even at age 79, sounds GREAT! -- and who asked me to say hello
to his many friends and few anemones via Facebook. I've been biased since I met
Harlan in 1981, but I still contend -- with total seriousness -- that if he'd
been born south of the border where "sci-fi" wasn't in reviewers' lazy
vocabulary, his unique and outstanding fiction would have earned him a Nobel
Prize for Literature by now. At any rate, it was fun hearing from him. I look
forward to seeing him soon.)
