Like you said here, in science fiction often it happens that literary qualities are in the background and fans (like me) pay more attention to the ability to amaze. And yes, I consider "Rendezvous with Rama" is a case of textbook (and other works of Clarke too).<br /><br />I have read many Arthur C. Clarke's novels (I still have to read The Fountains of Carlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096892945383594818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181327480848828236.post-17444857882878985862015-10-18T21:04:24.293+02:002015-10-18T21:04:24.293+02:00Possibly Childhood's End.
