No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. A very subpar story by someone I expected much more from. I'm not religious so perhaps aspects of the fable are lost on me but a tale of a bloke who doesn't have a lot of luck, indeed, who God herself seems to be spiting, should have been far more interesting than this. (  ) MiaCulpa | Mar 21, 2021 |  I stopped reading Science Fiction 40 years ago, so finding this book at Goodwill was a flashback to 65 years ago, when I read all the SF I could get my hands on. I had read books by all 6 of the authors that wrote little blurbs on the dust jacket, and Clifford Simak, to whom he dedicated the book. I probably won't read this, but it was fun just to be reminded of all the great stories I read in the past. Mapguy314 | Jan 16, 2021 | Not Heinlein's best novel. The problem has more to do with the core idea than the technical aspects of the story: Sentence to sentence, his prose flows nicely as usual, and for the most part, the plot is sufficiently paced (except for the denouement, which is rather abrupt). However, Alec and Margrethe figure out a little too easily what is happening to them, and the last few chapters read like the supernatural parts of [b:Stranger in a Strange Land|350|Stranger in a Strange Land|Robert A.

( ) octoberdad | Dec 16, 2020 | A very unusual book, but I actually liked it. (  ) Chica3000 | Dec 11, 2020 | Not the deepest thing you'll ever read, but it's just such a satisfying story.

 ''Job'' may not be on a par with such classic Heinlein as ''Stranger in a Strange Land,'' ''The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress'' or the stories he wrote under the ''Future History'' rubric - but it is an exhilarating romp through the author's mental universe (or rather universes), with special emphasis on cultural relativism, dogmatic religion (treated with surprising sympathy) and the philosophical conundrum of solipsism. It is not necessary to share all of Mr. Heinlein's views on man and society to enjoy the bracing clarity with which he sets them forth. Alex Hergensheimer, lid van een zeer strenge godsdienstige sekte, doet tijdens een cruise over de Stille Zuidzee mee aan een vuurdansceremonie. Het loopt verkeerd af en als hij bijkomt, bevindt hij zich met een andere identiteit op een andere Aarde, in gezelschap van de hoogst verleidelijke Margarethe. Dit wordt de aanvang van een queeste door verscheidene realiteiten die Alex letterlijk naar hemel en hel zal leiden... Robert Heinlein is een zeer bekend SF-auteur. Hij heeft 43 boeken geschreven. Vier daarvan zijn bekroond met de Hugo Award, een internationale SF-prijs. Job is een leuk, vindingrijk en charmant boek. Maar nogal ergerniswekkend zijn de veelvuldige en puberale sekstaferelen en bezinningen over de verhouding man/vrouw. Als je je daar niet te veel aan ergert, blijft een vermakelijk boek over dat op een leuke manier toch een aantal minder voor de hand liggende diepzinnigheden debiteert. Alle 29 hoofdstukken beginnen met een bijbeltekst (die nergens op slaat). (NBD|Biblion recensie, Bob van Laerhoven.)

After firewalking in Polynesia, fundamentalist minister Alexander Hergensheimer never saw the world the same. Now called Alec Graham, he was in the middle of an affair with his stewardess, Margrethe, and natural disasters kept following them. First, there was an impossible iceberg that wrecked the ship in the tropics; then, after being rescued by a Royal Mexican plane, they were hit by a double earthquake. To Alex, the signs were clear that Armageddon and the Day of Judgment were near. Somehow, he had to bring his beloved heathen, Margrethe, to a state of grace, for heaven would be no paradise without her. But time was growing short. And, while he was at it, there had to be a way to save the rest of the world. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
