CONSTRUTORES DE CONTINENTES

Continuação da série de contos de Ficção Científica iniciada com "Os dentes do Inspetor". O livro original, "The Continent Makers (and Other Tales of the Viagens)" foi dividido em dois volumes na edição brasileira. Apresentação de Isaac Asimov e nota do autor -- Lyon Sprague de Camp.====Brazil has assumed her rightful place as world leader. Thus it is naturally Brazil that conducts the first interstellar explorations and creates the great space transport system. |...| Many of the short stories in the series were included in The Continent Makers and Other Tales of the Viagens (coll 1953); others appeared in Sprague de Camp's New Anthology of Science Fiction (coll 1953); Viagens Interplanetarias stories, a loosely linked series set in a future where Brazil has become the dominant world power, the stories themselves being sited mainly on three worlds which circle the star Tau Ceti and are named after the Hindu gods Vishnu, Ganesha and Krishna; the planet Krishna was a romantically barbarian world on which de Camp could set, as sf, the kind of Planetary Romances he had previously written as fantasy, the market for pure fantasy having disappeared with Unknown in 1943. Other planets circling other stars included Osiris, Isis and Thoth.====http://www.sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/de_camp_l_spraguehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Continent_Makers_and_Other_Tales_of_the_Viagenshttp://www.cienciamao.usp.br/tudo/exibir.php?midia=fic&cod=_osdentesdoinspetorhttp://www.cienciamao.usp.br/tudo/exibir.php?midia=fic&cod=_construtoresdecontinentes
