Více o knize

Close encounter of the first kind: Sighting of an unidentified flying object. Close encounter of the second kind: Physical evidence after a sighting. Close encounter of the third kind: Contact between human and alien beings. For Roy Neary, a young engineer who long ago felt the magic of wishing upon a star, it all starts the night of a strange local blackout—a blackout in which the power fails but the most vivid of colors emerge. It is a night that begins in doubt and wonder but leaves an impression strong enough to change the rest of his life. Here is a novel that makes that third kind of encounter an event so colorful, so full of sound and wonder that it dazzles the senses and enriches the imagination. For the dream behind the encounter is as old as man; its fruition as modern and intricate as today’s world can make it.
