Comment: Hello Daniel,
thank you for the better picture and the complementary information on the new Spanish edition of "Cosmic Engineers".
And special thanks for the picture on the Chilean edition of "Our Childrens Children". I had been looking for that for a long time.
I have a lot of other things to do at the moment, so I haven't updated the database yet this year. I hope to do it in July.

I would love to see a film or mini-series based on City. I had raised this idea with a few people in LA, but without success. Does anyone know if there has been other effort toward this end? I discovered City in 1961 (I was 13) and have read it every dozen years since; as well as reading it to my children and my wife.

Hello Sr.
I am writing just to wish you a happy and better 2021, to thank you for your excellent work and to tell you that an edition of Cosmic engineers appeared in Spanish in August 2020, of which I am attaching the data and cover. Unfortunately I could not get it in a better resolution. The edition is from a small publisher in Spain, from which we do not receive material in Argentina, so for now I will only see it in advertisements. I hope it is useful to you.

As a youngster Clifford D. Simak was one of my favorite SF authors, the other one being Philip K. Dick. Both those excellent writers have very distinctive literary voices.

What's interesting is that, despite being one of SF's most acclaimed writers, after his death, Simak has faded from view whilst PKD is now practically mainstream. In truth, watching PKD's trajectory from completely unknown author outside the field to widely respected writer in his own right has been one of the most astonishing events of my life.

Anyway, just started rereading Simak's corpus via purchasing old second-hand editions (I like the cover art of those old SF paperbacks and hardbacks) since there's a few I missed from wayback.

Best,
Ubik

Comment: Hello Ubik,
thank you very much for your entry and have a lot of fun browsing through old book covers.

¡¡Hola!!!
¡¡Que fantástico sitio!!
Lamentablemente en español faltan muchas novelas y relatos por traducir, y dificilmente se editen en forma oficial, es triste ver la falta de interés por Simak en nuestro idioma

Por lo que estoy trabajando en traducciones no oficiales para mis amigos, así es como llegué aquí, buscando información, y guauuuu que maravillosa sorpresa...

¡¡Mil gracias!!
Puedo aportar, espero sea de utilidad una portada en mejor resolución y sin la marca de tercerafundacion del relato:
To Walk a City's Street (1972)
as:Caminando por las calles de la ciudad
Spanish, translated by: Caamaño, Miguel / Nicastro, Mónica
in:Cuásar 7 (ya inconseguible en Argentina)
Argentina
Cuásar 1985
Aquí la dejo.

Cordiales saludos a todos los que mantienen este maravilloso sitio y el trabajo de Simak.

Cordiales saludos desde Cba. Argentina.
Daniel Tissera ¡¡Gracias!!

Comment: Hello, Daniel,
thank you very much for your contribution. It always makes me happy when I learn that there are people who visit my site. This time even a Simak fan from South America!
Thanks also for the picture of Cuásar 7, which will be included with the December update.

Started reading Simak when I was 16, back in 1963. CITY was sublime--( "of such excellence, grandeur, or beauty as to inspire great admiration or awe" ). Simak was looking for meaning, and he got me started doing the same thing. When we get to Eternity we'll finally be able to talk about this!
I have been an sf fan for over 60 years so my site gives a bit of my perspective. I would love to communicate with other SF fans.

Das ist eine tolle Seite!

Comment: Normally a post here should be a bit longer or more Simak-specific. But I know who this person is and that it is not spam.

This is just a quick message to thank you for such an AMAZING work. I am currently finishing my Ph. D. dissertation on Simak (I believe one of the first), and I can't find this web more useful than I do. May more readers get enchanted by this unique Simakian style!

Comment: Hello, J., good to hear from you. I think it's wonderful that there will soon be a dissertation about Clifford Simak.

Comment: Thank you. The guestbook software had a problem with long links and with the https prefix. So I had to change something in the settings and change your link slightly.
