Bu sesli kitap hakkında
A Pail of Air” by Fritz Leiber is a haunting and poetic science fiction short story set in a frozen, post-apocalyptic Earth where the sun has gone dark. Written in the early 1950s, this atmospheric tale follows a resilient family struggling to survive in a world turned to eternal night, where even breathable air must be collected by hand. Told through the eyes of a young boy, the story captures the stark beauty of isolation, the desperation of survival, and the enduring hope that flickers in humanity’s darkest hours. When unexpected visitors appear bearing news of a thriving colony powered by atomic energy, the family’s icy solitude melts into the promise of connection and renewal. A powerful meditation on human endurance, family bonds, and the spark of civilization in a cold and quiet world.
