Let me ask you this question. Suppose you took a science fiction book. And you read it through. If her life could not have been written by the body of the book and tell as published. And it's damn funny and entertaining, plus a little politics thrown light, would not you say that this is a great book of fiction if I told you that was written forty or fifty years?
Absolutely! And why is Robert A. Heinlein (RAH) was so great. Wrote allHis books of fiction classic science decades ago and died in 1988 at the age of 80 Grand. He lived a good life, and has written over 32 books of fiction full of his writing career.
And there's no way I could even come close surveillance of all his best books in a single article. So I'm going to talk about some of my favorite books, so hopefully that can inspire you to look at his other books too.
But let me preface by Robert to the second here. Robert was a libertarian, theis a political conviction that our government should be smaller and less intrusive. That we are responsible for our fate. And the U.S. Constitution is the only rule of law.
And if you read his books, you come across some of his ideas. Robert is very eloquent and passionate conflict that comes with powerful governments. Like the book, "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress." Without spoiling the story for you, I just seton it. This is a people living on the moon. Most of them were bannish from the earth to one reason or another. And the land is a dominant economic force, and were handled successfully by the work and efforts of people living on the moon.
And what happens when a crisis will make people do something about Lunar. And they decide to rebel and the earth all heavy weapons and spaceships. What happens now? Now that my friends, I leave you to readPaper.
Another book by Robert Heinlein, which I really liked Starship Troopers. It 'been a history of the formation of a war against insects. Yes, I know you're thinking of the movie. And yes, this film is based on the book. But like most movies based on the book - the book is much, much better.
So get the book and read it. It 's a very good book.
Did you know that science fiction writers are thinkers really better to predict the future, when allgovernment think tank? Well, it's certainly true in my faith. Here is an 'else invest Robert Heinlein, the water bed in one of his science fiction novels. But he never made a penny out of it.
Back in the days when young men and women read adventure tales there was none better in the adolescent genre that the imimitable Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94). Stevenson was a Scottish Presbyterian who was trained in law but forsook it for the sake of fiction. Among his classics are "The Black Arrow"; "Kidnapped" and his great novella
"Dr Jekyll and Mister Hyde." Stevenson was a sufferer of TB and died at the too young age of 44.
Treasure Island was published in 1883. It began as a story Stevenson narrated to his wife's son Lloyd Osborne.
It tells the thrilling tale of buried treasure on Treasure Island. The island is fictional but Stevenson seems to have located it near the California coast. He lived in California for a time. Jim Hawkins is the teenage narrator. When the old seadog Billy Bones comes to the Admiral Benbow Inn he carries with him a map of Treasure Island. Bones had been a sailor on a sea expedition led by the pirate Captain Flnt; he had just received a black spot sign of death from the blind sailor Pew.
Hawkins joins forces with Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey and later Captain Smollett aboard the Hispanolia in search of the buried treasure. On the ship there are 19 mutineers led by the one legged Long John Silver and his famous parrot Captain Flint. After a series of adventures and much violence the treasure of 700,000 pounds is discovered and Hawkins returns home a rich young lad.
Stevenson is good in melodramatic action and in characterization influenced by his mentor Sir Walter Scott. Clearly drawn characters such as Silver, Ben Gunn, and the evil Israel Hands are colorfully drawn. The author is adept at word painting excelling in lush descriptive passages of the sea journey and Treasure Island. He has borrowed the parrot from Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe. Stevenson's "Treasure Island" featuring young Jim Hawkins is not a deep work but is purely and simply an adventure tale to be read and reread as long as the art of writing and the practice of reading are part of civilized life.
