El hacedor de estrellas, como otros libros de Stapledon ha sido la fuente de influencia para autores de la talla de James Blish, Isaac Asimov y Arthur C. Clarke (que han reconocido su endeudamiento con él, después de H.G. Wells), y de pelÃculas como La Guerra de las Galaxias y Star Trek. Muchas ideas básicas de la literatura de Ciencia Ficción encuentran sus orÃgenes en esta obra. Eric Frank Russell y Theodore Sturgeon han escrito acerca de razas simbióticas; Robert A. Heinlein, Clifford D. Simak e Isaac Asimov acerca de los imperios estelares, y los cientÃficos Fred Hoyle y Arthur C. Clarke sobre estrellas y nebulosas inteligentes, todos temas stapledonianos. Sus libros están plagados de un fuerte contenido cientÃfico y detalles sobre sus mundos, todos ellos más que novelas, son ensayos filosóficos que rondan el existencialismo (aunque siempre está la duda).

Sirio es un perro lobo singular: no tiene una vista de lince, y es bastante patoso pero, gracias a las técnicas desarrolladas por Thomas Trelone, posee la inteligencia y la sensibilidad de una persona. Criado en la Gales rural por la esposa del cientÃfico, crece aislado del resto del mundo contando con una sola amiga: Plaxy, la hija del matrimonio. Cuando los separan para que ella asista a la escuela y él se inicie en el pastoreo, Sirio tomará conciencia de su condición única. Ãsta le valdrá un sinfÃn de limitaciones y desengaños, condenado a la soledad absoluta, como un perpetuo extraño tanto para los humanos como para los demás perros.

Olaf Stapledon influyó directamente en Arthur C. Clarke, Brian W. Aldiss, StanisÅaw Lem, C. S. Lewis y John Maynard Smith, e indirectamente en muchos otros, contribuyendo con creativas e inteligentes ideas al mundo de la ciencia ficción, muchas de éstas inspiradas por su profundo interés por la filosofÃa. "Star Maker", traducido como Hacedor de estrellas âobra sobre la que Jorge Luis Borges afirmó: "Hacedor de estrellas es, además de una prodigiosa novela, un sistema probable o verosÃmil de la pluralidad de los mundos y de su dramática historia"1 â contiene la primera descripción conocida de las esferas de Dyson. En ese libro, como también en La última y la primera humanidad (Last and first men) y en otras novelas, aborda temas como la evolución biológica, la genética, el cosmos, otras formas de vida y el desarrollo de la inteligencia y la espiritualidad como caracterÃsticas de la vida.

Product Description: The Flames was Stapledon's last major work of fiction before he died. After having narrowed his scope from the huge cosmic histories of Last and First Men (history of humanity) and Star Maker (history of the universe, Dante-esque cameo by God at the end) to the earthbound Odd John (super-man) and Sirius (super-dog), The Flames reads like an attempt to stuff them all into a 50-page novella...read more
