The Lost Worlds of 2001 by Arthur C. Clarke - USED Paperback VINTAGE 1972

Mind-Blasting Probes Into Dazzling Illumination

The ultimate trip began with a story called "The Sentinel" by Arthur C. Clarke.  It took flight when Stanley Kubrik asked Clarke to write a novel of space exploration upon which the acclaimed driector would base a movie.  The result was one of the most extraordinary films of all time.

Now for the first time the reader is taken on every stage of this great adventure.  Here is the original story.  Here are the different versions of 2001 as they evolved in the interplay between two brilliantly charged imaginations.  And here is Clarke's own intimate account of the unique chemistry between author and director which created 2001: A Space Odyssey.
