Fritz Leiber (1910-1992) may be best known as a fantasy writer, but he published widely and successfully in the horror and science fiction fields. One of his major SF creations is the Change War, a series of stories and short novels about rival time-traveling forces locked in a bitter, ages-long struggle for control of the human universe where battles alter history and then change it again until there's no certainty about what might once have happened. The most notable work of the series is the Hugo Award-winning novel The Big Time, in which doctors, entertainers, and wounded soldiers find themselves treacherously trapped with an activated atomic bomb inside the Place, a room existing outside of space-time. Leiber creates a tense, claustrophobic SF mystery, and a brilliant, unique locked-room whodunit.
In addition to the Hugo, Nebula, Derleth, Lovecraft, and World Fantasy Awards, Fritz Leiber received the Grand Master of Fantasy (Gandalf) Award, the Life Achievement Lovecraft Award, and the Grand Master Nebula Award.
Questo è uno di quei libri di cui ammiro l'arte ma il cui messaggio mi lascia così pensosa e triste da non riuscire a valutarlo oggettivamente. Sicuramente una lettura che mi resterà dentro. Per certi versi mi ha ricordato A porte chiuse di Sartre, con la differenza - element sci-fi a parte - che qui resta un ottimismo di fondo: per quanto gli istinti più bassi dell'uomo resistano in ogni tempo, le cose andranno comunque per il meglio. O almeno, questo è il senso che io ci ho visto (e che non mi ha consolata nemmeno un po'). ( )

Do not combine "The Big Time" with the Ace Double Edition of "The Big Time" / "The Mind Spiders".
"The Big Time" was also published in Europe in two volumes ("The Big Time Book 1", in various languages); these should not be combined with the complete book "The Big Time".
