Table of Contents

Spanish:
Trilogía marciana de Kim Stanley Robinson es uno de la serie de ciencia ficción más honrado con Marte rojo ganó el Premio distinguido de la nebulosa, y Marte verde y Marte Azul honrados con el Hugo. Un moderno clásico del género, esta saga épica hábilmente retrata las historias humanas detrás de proyecto más ambicioso de la tierra todavía: la terraformación de Marte.
Robinson regresa a la esfera que ha realizado su propia, en un trabajo de veintiocho historias, incluyendo poesía, dedicada a la vida en Marte, que entreteje brillantemente un ambiente futurista con una visión poética del espíritu humano comprometido en un drama tan antiguo como la humanidad misma. Tras los hilos de estas vidas y acontecimientos, en una época cuando la vida humana se ha extendido durante décadas, los marcianos se convierte en la historia de generaciones vivían en el borde de la frontera final, en un paisaje de constante artificial y transformación natural--narra la historia de una resistencia subterránea y difícil de ver a la terraformación descrita en la trilogía adecuada.
A partir de los cien primeros exploradores, generaciones de amigos, enemigos y amantes son barridas en el drama que es el ejército tenue de la tierra en Marte. Exploración internacional se convierte en el mundo de construcción; edificio mundo degenera en conflicto político, la revolución y la guerra. De una misión de entrenamiento en la Antártida a tormentas de arena barrido a través de laberintos de cañones estériles de ampollas, las historias entrelazadas de los marcianos pusieron en marcha un vasto elenco de personajes sobre la superficie de Marte. Como el planeta se transforma de un terreno inexplorado y prohibir a una imagen conflictiva de una tierra nueva, hombres y mujeres están atadas por sus experiencias en Marte y uno con el otro.
Traducción de Ana Quijada Vargas
English:
Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy is one of science fiction's most honored series, with Red Mars winning the distinguished Nebula Award, and both Green Mars and Blue Mars honored with the Hugo. A modern-day classic of the genre, this epic saga deftly portrays the human stories behind Earth's most ambitious project yet: the terraforming of Mars.
Robinson returns to the realm he has made his own, in a work of twenty-eight stories, including poetry, devoted to life on Mars, that brilliantly weaves together a futuristic setting with a poetic vision of the human spirit engaged in a drama as ancient as mankind itself. Following the strands of these lives and events, in an age when human life has been extended for decades, The Martians becomes the story of generations lived on the edge of the ultimate frontier, in a landscape of constant man-made and natural transformation--tells the story of an underground and hard-to-see resistance to the terraforming described in the trilogy proper.
Beginning with the First Hundred explorers, generations of friends, enemies, and lovers are swept up in the drama that is Earth's tenuous toehold on Mars. International exploration turns into world building; world building degenerates into political conflict, revolution, and war. From a training mission in Antarctica to blistering sandstorms sweeping through labyrinths of barren canyons, the interwoven stories of The Martians set in motion a sprawling cast of characters upon the surface of Mars. As the planet is transformed from an unexplored and forbidding terrain to a troubled image of a re-created Earth, men and women are bound together by their experiences on Mars and with each other.

Some stories do not take place in the same universe as the Mars trilogy; some others, while they share the same characters, are evidently alternate timelines to the trilogy.
