The Lion of Comarre & Against the Fall of Night
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lion of Comarre & Against the Fall of Night are early stories by Arthur C. Clarke.
This volume is a collection of two early works by Arthur C. Clarke. Published in 1975, republished in 1982 and 1987. Both concern Earth in the far future, with a utopian but static human society.
Against the Fall of Night was later expanded and revised as The City and the Stars, one of Clarke's best-known works.
The Lion of Comarre has a similar theme: it is about dissatisfied young man in search "something more" in a future society that believes it has discovered everything and ceases to advance. It is not, however, the same 'future history'.
