Über diesen Titel

Revolution is brewing on twenty-first-century Luna, a moon-based penal colony where oppressed “Loonies” are being exploited by a harsh Authority that controls it from Earth. Against all odds, a ragtag collection of dissidents has banded together in revolt, including a young female radical, an elderly academic, a one-armed computer jock, and a nearly omnipotent supercomputer named Mike, whose sentience is known only to this inner circle and who is committed to the revolution for reasons of his own.

Drawing many historical parallels with the War of Independence, Heinlein’s fourth Hugo Award–winning novel is a gripping tale bursting with politics, humanity, passion, innovative technical speculation, and a firm belief in the pursuit of human freedom.

Robert A. Heinlein was the most influential science fiction writer of his era, winning the Hugo Award for best novel a record four times. The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress was the last of these Hugo-winning novels and is widely considered his finest work.

Kritikerstimmen

"We proceed down the path marked by his ideas. He shows us where the future is."

“Adrenalizing, mind-stretching, conviction-testing…unmatched by any contemporary!”

“[Heinlein] gives you action and adventure, but as you read the novel, you’re forced to consider, in this new world, new ways of thinking about old problems.”

Great story that aged more or less well. The political ideology is very extreme and not for me.

The story is a classic (a bit dated, maybe, lots of male decision making and emotional women) and needs no further words, but the voice acting is more than incredible. Lloyd James makes Mani, Stu, Prof and Wyo come alive, and makes you feel with Mike. Eh, with Mychelle. Adam? All of them!

Even better thanks to the narrator

Robert A. Heinleins Roman über eine Revolution der Mondbewohner ist wohl einer DER klassischen der Science-Fiction Romane schlechthin, geschrieben 1966, drei Jahre vor der ersten Mondlandung. Es ist alles da: Humor, Spannung, politische Beobachtungen und Ideen, vor allem Heinleins Individualanarchismus. Es ist ein großartiges Buch

Aber Lloyd James schafft es in seiner Lesung, das noch zu steigern. Die Nuancen in den Akzenten und der Satzgestaltung, die unübersetzbar sind und von jemanden dessen Muttersprache nicht Englisch ist leicht übersehen werden, kommen wunderbar zur Geltung und machen das zuhören zum Genuss!

Ein Klassiker, ein Genuss

Knowing the age of the book and this recording of it being read, it still takes some getting used to. The chosen accent for the main character was irritating sometimes. Nevertheless, he had a clear voice at all times and was easily understood, even at 190kph on a german highway.
Concerning the book itself: I kind of liked it. It had some strange concepts of rebellion and politics and made it seem quite easy. The liberal political views of the author were hammered in quite strongly. Certainly worth a read/listen for Sci-Fi fans, but at least for me, there are better books out there.

Excellent Book if you know what you're gettinginto
