为什么值得读
- 篇幅短小精炼且文字优美动人
- 彻底打破太空冰冷死寂的传统认知
- 立意独立是理想的太空科幻入门作品
作为 Lewis 的 Space Trilogy 的首部曲，Out of the Silent Planet 讲述了喜欢徒步漫游英国乡间的语言学家 Elwin Ransom 博士的故事。在寻找过夜之处时，他来到了去往伦敦的一位同事的庄园。然而，屋子里并非空无一人。Ransom 撞破了一位自大狂科学家及其同谋的阴谋，而那位同谋恰巧是 Ransom 的老同学。被下药、绑架并由科学家的火箭强行带往 Malacandra 星球当作人祭的 Ransom 博士逃入……

C·S·刘易斯的《沉寂的星球》。写得棒极了，虽说可能不像现代科幻读者习惯的那样丰满立体。但依然立得住脚，值得一读。我的第一本科幻启蒙。弗雷泽的《金枝》……
Out of the Silent Planet, by C.S. Lewis. Wonderfully written, though not as completely fleshed-out as a modern sci-fi reader may be used to. Still stands on its own two feet, worth a try. My first sci-fi. The Golden Bough, Frazer.…

> 我建议读读《皮兰德拉》 大家应该先读《沉寂的星球》，再读《皮兰德拉》。这个系列的第三本也不错，但走向完全不同，并没有真正探讨基督教上帝与外星生命之间的关系。
> I would suggest reading Perelandra People should read Out of the Silent Planet first, and then Perelandra. The third book in the series is also good, but goes in a different direction and doesn't really touch on the relationship between the Christian God and extraterrestrial life.
……不同地方（比如在《纳尼亚》里），你可能纳闷过刘易斯怎么从没写过时间旅行小说。事实证明他其实动笔写过，草稿后来就演变成了这个。我的建议：先读短小精悍的《沉寂的星球》了解背景，跳过《皮兰德拉》（直白的基督教寓言严重超标），然后再来尝试这玩意儿。
…different places (e.g. in Narnia) you may have wondered why Lewis never did a time travel novel. Turns out, he started one, and its rough draft eventually turned into this. My advice: read the short and sweet Out of the Silent Planet first for context, skip Perelandra (dangerously overdosed with overt Christian allegory), and then try this thing.
我以前总觉得太空浩瀚又空虚——确实，这张地图多少也勾起了那种感觉。但自从读了《沉寂的星球》，我开始从另一个角度看待它了。他曾读到过关于“太空”的描述：多年来，在他脑海深处一直潜伏着一种凄凉的想象，那是黑暗、冰冷的虚无，是彻头彻尾的死寂，本应是……
I used to think of space as big and empty - and indeed, this map invokes that feeling a little. But since reading "Out of the Silent Planet" I have come to see it a different way. He had read of 'Space': at the back of his thinking for years had lurked the dismal fancy of the black, cold vacuity, the utter deadness, which was supposed to…
