The multiple-award-winning science fiction master returns to the universe that is his greatest triumph--the world of Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion --with a novel even more magnificent than its predecessors.
Dan Simmons's Hyperion was an immediate sensation on its first publication in 1989. This staggering multifaceted tale of the far future heralded the conquest of the science fiction field by a man who had already won the World Fantasy Award for his first novel (Song of Kali) and had also published one of the most well-received horror novels in the field, Carrion Comfort. Hyperion went on to win the Hugo Award as Best Novel, and it and its companion volume, The Fall of Hyperion, took their rightful places in the science fiction pantheon of new classics.
Now, six years later, Simmons returns to this richly imagined world of technological achievement, excitement, wonder and fear. Endymion is a story about love and memory, triumph and terror--an instant candidate for the field's highest honors.
Più bello del precedente, direi a livello del primo. Più comprensibile, eccezion fatta per la situazione iniziale/finale che di fatta viene lasciata senza spiegazione in vista dell’ultimo libro. Che non vedo l’ora di iniziare, anche e soprattutto per capire quali poteri/conoscenze disponga Aenea. ( )
Una delle più grandi, epiche, belle, complesse, affascinanti opere di fantascienza mai scritte. Un costrutto immaginifico fantastico impressionante, che spazia dalla sf-hard a quella sociologica, da elementi fantasy a "religiosi", da semplici avventure a riflessioni poetiche, ecc... Pur con i suoi difetti (per es. innegabile una eccessiva lunghezza, certe parti sopratutto descrittive decisamente superflue o comunque esagerate) rimane un opera affascinante ed avvincente, un caposaldo della letteratura fantascientifica che fa storia. Imperdibile. ( )

Several translations of the Hyperion series were published as multiple volumes There are no equivalent English volumes. Do not combine these with any works other than the equivalent partial volume in another language.
The ISBNs here are not always correctly matched up to the books. Use both the title and ISBN to figure out what the actual work is. Also note that the title sometimes contains the volume number in the entire Hyperion series (with or without multiple parts).
