Winner of the 1954 Intenational Fantasy Award, which was won in 1957 by The Lord of The Rings. Pangborn also won in 2003 the Cordwainder smith Rediscovery Award.""From the 21st century, we look back at the 20th, and we find Edgar Pangborn, who was always there, with his sad, serene, contemplative gaze. But his was not a vision that ever really properly belonged to the SF of 1950, and he maybe never got his full due back then. Today, maybe, the time has come to read him with proper joy." - - John Clute"Edgar Pangborn was one of the greatest American science fiction writers, who established along with Bradbury, Sturgeon, Miller, and Cordwainer Smith a poetic, beautifully human style of science fiction. Pangborn's evocative landscapes and intense emotional situations combine to give all his novels a mysterious and powerful beauty. He was a true artist and bringing his work back into print in this way is a great moment for American literature." ?Kim Stanley Robinson… (plus d'informations)
Deux romans d'Edgar Pangborn composent ce volume de la collection OPTA : "Un miroir pour les observateurs" et Davy". L'un et l'autre m'ont laissé de marbre tant le style de l'auteur ne me convient pas, avec ses sautes de logique ou ses expressions de non dits que le lecteur a du mal à reconstituer, lui donnant l'impression à chaque page d'avoir loupé une étape et essayant de reconstituer avec peine la logique de l'auteur. Et pourtant, j'étais entré avec confiance dans ces romans, ayant lu que l'auteur faisait partie des bons auteurs de science-fiction. Las, je me suis ennuyé ferme. Les thèmes n'étaient pas inintéressants, entre ces Salvaiens (martiens) sur Terre en exil observant, admirant, protégeant et parfois haïssant cette drôle d'humanité avec tous ses défauts, d'une part ; et cette humanité qui cherche à se reconstruire après un cataclysme.

.. But I observed that even the good artisans fell into the same error as the poets; - because they were good workmen they thought that they also knew all sorts of high matters, and this effect in them overshadowed their wisdom; and therefore I asked myself on behalf of the oracle, whether I would like to be as I was, neither having their knowledge nor their ignorance, or like them in both; and I made answer to myself and to the oracle that I was better off as I was.

Never, beautiful Earth, never even at the height of the human storms have I forgotten you, my planet Earth, your forests and your fields, your oceans, the serenity of your mountains; the meadows, the continuing rivers, the incorruptible promise of returning spring.
