About the Book
La edición ilustrada del gran clásico de Arthur C. Clarke con 5 ilustraciones del artista Gabriel Björk Stiernström
Año 2130. Los astrónomos detectan un misterioso asteroide, al que bautizan como «Rama», que está a punto de cruzar el sistema solar. Se trata de un cilindro perfecto de unos cincuenta kilómetros de largo, que gira a una velocidad fuera de lo normal y viaja por el espacio en línea recta. Ante esas evidencias, los investigadores se preguntan si están ante el primer visitante procedente de las estrellas... ¿Podrá la humanidad enfrentarse al enigma que alberga esta extraña nave, aparentemente extraterrestre, y que es ya una maravilla tecnológica que forma parte del imaginario de varias generaciones de lectores? Bienvenidos al gran clásico que Denis Villeneuve llevará al cine.
Cita con Rama es una de las obras más premiadas de uno de los mejores escritores de ciencia ficción de todos los tiempos, galardonada con los premios Hugo, Nebula, Locus, John W. Campbell y BSFA.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
This is an illustrated edition of Arthur C. Clarke’s great classic, now with 5 illustrations by the artist Gabriel Björk Stiernström.
Astronauts explore an alien spacecraft hurtling toward the sun in this Hugo and Nebula Award–winning novel— “a stone-cold classic of hard sci-fi.” —The Guardian.
An enormous cylindrical object has entered Earth’s solar system on a collision course with the sun. A team of astronauts are sent to explore the mysterious craft, which the denizens of the solar system name Rama. What they find is astonishing evidence of a civilization far more advanced than ours. They find an interior stretching over fifty kilometers; a forbidding cylindrical sea; mysterious and inaccessible buildings; and strange machine-animal hybrids, or “biots,” that inhabit the ship. But what they don’t find is an alien presence. So, who—and where—are the Ramans?
Often listed as one of Clarke’s finest novels, Rendezvous with Rama won numerous awards, including the Hugo, the Nebula, the Jupiter, and the British Science Fiction Awards. A fast-paced and compelling story of an enigmatic encounter with alien technology, Rendezvous with Rama offers both answers and unsolved mysteries that will continue to fascinate readers for generations.
“Mr. Clarke is splendid . . . We experience that chilling touch of the alien, the not-quite-knowable, that distinguishes SF at its most technically imaginative.” —The New York Times
