«Forastero en tierra extraña» is the science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein, published by Plaza & Janés in hardback (880 pages, in Spanish).
Valentine Michael Smith is human on his parents' side, but he was born and raised on Mars. When he arrives on Earth, he thinks and feels like a Martian, and his outsider status causes astonishment and scandal wherever he goes. Controversial since its publication, the novel became a reference read of hippie culture.
Work originally published as Stranger in a Strange Land in 1961, with translation by Domingo Santos, winner of the Hugo Award in 1962 and the Prometheus Hall of Fame in 1987.
For readers of classic science fiction who value novels of ideas and philosophical and social depth.
Robert Anson Heinlein was an American science fiction author, engineer, and naval officer. Sometimes called the "dean of science fiction writers", he was among the first to emphasize scientific accuracy in his fiction and was thus a pioneer of the subgenre of hard science fiction. His published works, both fiction and non-fiction, express admiration for competence and emphasize the value of critical thinking. His plots often presented provocative situations which challenged conventional social mores. His work continues to have an influence on the science fiction genre and on modern culture more generally.
