Untouched by Human Hands

De: Robert Sheckley

Narrado por: Gabrielle de Cuir - director, Harlan Ellison, Stefan Rudnicki

Untouched by Human Hands consists of 13 stories of beings who dwell on the strange borders of reality. Some of these stories tell of people you know or of events that might happen - but haven't yet. Some will take you to the furthermost reaches of the sky and to planets whose names are unknown this side of Arcturus. And some - perhaps the richest and most memorable of these stories - open into the interior of strange minds to reveal the reflection of ourselves.

This classic collection consists of the following short stories:

• "The Monsters"
• "Cost of Living"
• "The Altar"
• "Shape"
• "The Impacted Man"
• "Untouched by Human Hands"
• "The King's Wishes"
• "Warm"
• "The Demons"
• "Specialist"
• "Seventh Victim"
• "Ritual"
• "Beside Still Waters"

Just absolutely amazing.

I can’t believe this was written in 1954. It must have been revolutionary at the time and now I understand why Sheckley became such a star. Fabulous stories.

Interesting ideas in each story

Each story explored a different idea for reality and the nature of the beast.
I especially liked the colony of creatures that formed a starship.

great stories!

they held up well to time, one of the narrators is great, the other is good. I enjoyed these.

Very unique

I really enjoyed the book, it was much better than I expected. I find older sci-fi books often have more depth to what the future might hold and often adds to the story.

Beautiful stories, wonderful narrations, fully recommended!

This is a compilation of very creative and interesting stories, the book has been very well produced with 3 different narrators keeping it very interesting and rich.

Remarkable classic sci-fi

I'm a big fan of classic science fiction.
For some reason, i don't remember Robert sheckley, and this book was an amazing way to get know his writing style.
the stories are very well written and have fabulous ideas.
I will definitely going to look for more books of sheckley.

one lust thing - his Jew origins are well noticed in is style.

one of the greats!!

this is a Dandy little collection a great short stories written by a master storyteller. And in one case red buy a master storyteller. Harlan Ellison makes what is certainly one of his very last appearances to read a friend's story and to do it as beautiful and dynamically as ever he red flash perform to anything shut it down. With as much love and passion preceded by an introduction a kind words and highest recommendation, and two that I can do no better. every story is worth a listen. enjoy!

for an older book...

It held up very well. Entertaining and fairlynoriginal stories. Well read by the narrators. Worth the count.

Very Unique!

All of these whimsical, weird stories will challenge your previously held concepts of sci-fi. Furthermore most are amusing. Excellent readers give the stories additional life.

Non duality for science fiction fans!

The sound of one hand clapping...

Unique. Riviting. Mind bending.

I will come back to this book over and over again.
