About this product

Product Information

Robert Heinlein's Hugo Award-winning all-time masterpiece, the brilliant novel that grew from a cult favorite to a bestseller to a science fiction classic. Raised by Martians on Mars, Valentine Michael Smith is a human who has never seen another member of his species. Sent to Earth, he is a stranger who must learn what it is to be a man. But his own beliefs and his powers far exceed the limits of humankind, and as he teaches them about grokking and water-sharing, he also inspires a transformation that will alter Earth's inhabitants forever...

    Provocative Prose, Coined Words, Can You "Grok" It?

    Robert Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" won the 1962 Hugo Award and is an international best seller and landmark novel. It opened the trade best sellers lists to science fiction writers, breaking down longstanding barriers. At the same time the novel became a benchmark of the 1960s generation and its iconoclasm and free-love themes. "Stranger in a Strange Land" is the story of Valentine Michael Smith, born during the first manned mission to Mars. Because he is the only survivor, he is raised by Martians. When he arrives on Earth he is a true innocent: he has never seen a woman and has no knowledge of Earth's cultural mores or religions. With the popular author Jubal Harshaw to protect him, Michael explores human morality and the meanings of love. He founds his own church, ...

    A mind expanding Story

    What if you not only got to meet someone who could perform miracles, but didn't mind sharing the technique with you. This book was my first validation that there might be something to my suspicions as to the limitations implied by Newtonian physics. Explores such groundbreaking concepts as becoming one with an object or "grokking", and being able to use our essential beingness to create our own reality. It says it right on the cover "The most famous Science Fiction novel ever written" It's also an exciting story, a retelling of the passion play or story of Jesus brought into a modern format. Personally, I think the reason Heinlein was born was to bring this story to humans. It's a book that will color your thinking for the rest of your life... and beyond.

    A story of humankind

    Had to reread this book about a stranger who comes to Earth and challenges customs relating to sex, death, religion, and money. The book became an icon of the 1960s counterculture, and it won the prestigious Hugo Award for best novel in 1962. Yet it was banned in some schools.

    The incredible Heinlein

    This book is an old classic of science fiction. Robert Heinlein is an incredible writer, painting people in careful detail. After reading one of his books, I feel that I would recognize one of his characters if I casually met them. This book is no exception. Of particular interest to me is how effectively Heinlein paints the Man from Mars as both a human and as an alien. He makes it all so plausible, but I wonder how his imagination could have conjured such a complex, strange entity, and then make him sound completely realistic. The reader simultaneously wants to be the Man from Mars, Jubal Harshaw, and one of the girls. This is a master of fiction that everyone should read.
