Sailing to Byzantium by Robert Silverberg

Sailing to Byzantium by Robert Silverberg

This is a classic Silverberg novella which I have been planning to read for a very long time. It’s a sad but beautiful story of a man from 1984 who has been pulled into the world of the fiftieth century—a strange place where people spend their lives sightseeing recreated wonderous cities of the past. He has fallen in love, but the woman he is in love with abandons and hides from him leaving him to determine the problem that has grown between them and find a way to bring hope to two lives in the far future. It’s really a lovely tale.

It's deservedly a classic. It's novella size makes it a one-sitting read, which is also nice. It's got a powerfully emotional ending.
