  <default_description> One moment a man sits on a suburban hill, gazing curiously at the stars.  The next, he is whirling through the firmament, and perhaps the most remarkable of all science fiction journeys has begun.  &lt;P&gt;Even Stapledon's other great work, LAST AND FIRST MEN, pales in ambition next to STAR MAKER, which presents nothing less than an entire imagined history of life in the universe, encompassing billions of years.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Star Maker, by Olaf Stapledon, is an incredible achievement. It was first published in 1937. It is not a conventional novel, so if that is what you are looking for, you should look elsewhere. It is more of a philosophical journey than a conventional story. The nameless narrator takes a journey throu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41993793">more...</a>]]></body>
