I viaggi hanno sempre formato la gioventù e tanto più la formano nel 2051, quando le ragazze vengono educate sessualmente mediante escursioni temporali di quindici giorni nella mente e nel corpo di donne vissute in secoli precedenti. Con la stessa tecnica i giovani vengono istruiti anche in altre materie, mentre gli adulti approfittano di analoghe escursioni a scopo principalmente di relax.

Wife found this for 25 cents at our favorite used book store, and I decided to read it first. The novel concerns time travel to our past, in order to learn empirically. The novel is rife with history, philosophy and laden with theoretical hypotheses of time travel and the ramifications that lie therein. The novel manages to avoid the normal paradoxes that usually accompany this type of story and manages to focus on some serious questions dealing with it. A great speculative read that will stir up your synapses.
This was an amazing book. it combined ethereal and philosophical questions while keeping the reader focused on the action of the story. it is a must read
This is my FAVORITE sci-fi book! The description about sex education really only pertains to the very beginning of the book. The actual plot is reminiscent of historical fiction; about time travel and the affects of it in the past and future. It is fucking amazing. You can get a paperback for $2.50 on Amazon. Read this NOW!
