About this book
In the early 1950s, as the Space Age dawned, humanity grappled with the vast unknown of the cosmos. "Elegy" by Charles Beaumont takes readers aboard a stranded space vessel, where Captain Webber and his crew confront existential questions amid the desolation of drifting through the void. As they encounter an enigmatic city on an asteroid, themes of isolation and the search for meaning emerge alongside the stark realities of survival. This thought-provoking science fiction short story invites students and enthusiasts of speculative literature to explore the delicate balance between hope and despair in the face of the infinite. Beaumont's masterful narrative challenges readers to reflect on their own humanity in an ever-expanding universe.
