Jak se zachovat, když se na zahradě znenadání objeví skutečný bůh? Co počít, když doma přechováváte duši mrtvého? A co dělat, když se probudíte a zjistíte, že jste omylem procitli o den později? A co teprve, když se dozvíte, že dívku, kterou milujete, střeží žárlivý duch…? Dvanáct povídek navozuje ty nejnepravděpo­dobnější situace, téměř surrealistické vize, jejichž rozuzlení je šokující, jindy varovné, někdy zábavné a někdy také plné smutku a zoufalství…

Snící drahokamy představují neobvykle vyzrálou románovou prvotinu a jsou působivým romanetem o postatě „lidskosti“ v kreaturách, které si ještě troufají nazývat se lidmi…

Con la scomparsa di Theodore Sturgeon avvenuta l'otto maggio 1985, la fantascienza ha perduto uno dei suoi maestri più illustri. Udita la prima volta nel 1939, la sua voce di grande stilista era divenuta ben presto la presenza più stimolante e più ricca di umanità dell'intera letteratura fantastica e fantascientifica. Questa antologia, che ospita due romanzi brevi e tre racconti - tutti inediti - apparsi fra il 1951 e il 1955 costituisce il primo doveroso tributo che URANIA intende porgergli. Indice: Estrapolazione (Extrapolation, 1953) Il prezzo dell'amore (The Wage of Symergy, 1953) Fate spazio (Make Room for Me, 1951) Il cuore (The Heart, 1953) Mondo d'incubi (The Incubi of Parallel X, 1951) Copertina di Karel Thole
