Le fontane del Paradiso

by Arthur C. Clarke

Overview

XXII secolo. Vannevar Morgan, ingegnere visionario, vuole costruire un gigantesco "ascensore" che colleghi la Terra allo spazio, per abbattere i costi e l'inquinamento dei trasporti interplanetari. Il luogo ideale è l'isola equatoriale di Taprobane, proprio dove, sui resti dell'antica residenza delle Fontane del Paradiso costruita dal re parricida Kalidas, sorge da secoli un monastero buddhista. Gli occupanti, però, non hanno nessuna intenzione di abbandonarlo. A meno che non intervenga un miracolo.
