Fantascienza - romanzo breve (66 pagine) - Uno dei più celebri classici della fantascienza dell’Età dell’Oro. «Credo che i racconti di Weinbaum ambientati su Marte siano i migliori che abbia letto, specialmente quelli in cui figura quell’essere curioso e simpatico di nome “Tweel”» H.P. Lovecraft. “Il suo stile sciolto e la sua descrizione realistica di scene di forme extraterrestri erano i migliori che si fossero visti fino a quel momento, e il pubblico fantascientifico impazzì subito per lui” scrisse Isaac Asimov a proposito di Un'odissea marziana e del suo autore, Stanley G. Weinbaum. Scritto nel 1934, questo romanzo breve era una risposta alla sfida del direttore di Astounding: "Scrivetemi di una creatura che pensa bene quanto un uomo, ma che non pensi come un uomo". Weinbaum inventò Tweel, il primo alieno della storia della fantascienza che non fosse un uomo cammuffato o un mostro. Il fascino di questo racconto, modernissimo pur avendo ormai più di ottant'anni, è indiscutibile. Nel 1970, in un sondaggio tra i lettori di Astounding per eleggere i migliori racconti di tutti i tempi, arrivò al secondo posto dopo Notturno di Isaac Asimov. Il libro comprende anche il suo seguito La valle dei sogni. Stanley G. Weinbaum (1900-1935) fu uno degli innovatori della narrativa fantascientifica. Con un solo racconto, Un'odissea Marziana, si creò una solida fama e diede il colpo di grazia al cliché degli extraterrestri visti come possibili invasori della Terra, dotati sempre di intenti malvagi. Le sue storie, vivaci ed eleganti rappresentavano invece intelligenze strane e complesse, esseri non necessariamente cattivi ma spesso al di fuori della logica umana. Weinbaum, che morì prematuramente nel 1935 gettando nello sconforto gli appassionati dell’epoca, ci ha lasciato solo un paio di romanzi e una quindicina di racconti. Di suo Delos Digital ha pubblicato anche i racconti Alghe mortali e I mangiatori di loto nella collana Biblioteca di un sole lontano.

It was Weinbaum's second published story (in 1933 he had sold a romantic novel, The Lady Dances, to King Features Syndicate under the pseudonym Marge Stanley), and remains his best known. It was followed four months later by a sequel, "Valley of Dreams." These are the only stories by Weinbaum set on Mars. Early in the 21st century, nearly twenty years after the invention of atomic power and ten years after the first lunar landing, the four-man crew of the Ares has landed on Mars in the Mare Cimmerium. A week after the landing, Dick Jarvis, the ship's American chemist, sets out south in an auxiliary rocket to photograph the landscape. Eight hundred miles out, the engine on Jarvis' rocket gives out, and he crash-lands into one of the Thyle regions. Rather than sit and wait for rescue, Jarvis decides to walk back north to the Ares. Just after crossing into the Mare Chronium, Jarvis comes across a tentacled Martian creature attacking a large birdlike creature. He notices that the birdlike Martian is carrying a bag around its neck, and recognizing it as an intelligent being, saves it from the tentacled monstrosity. The rescued creature refers to itself as Tweel. Tweel accompanies Jarvis on his trip back to the Ares, in the course of which it manages to pick up some English, although Jarvis is unable to make any sense of Tweel's language. At first, Tweel travels in tremendous, city-block-long leaps that end with its long beak buried in the ground, but upon seeing Jarvis trudge along, walks beside him. Upon reaching Xanthus, a desert region outside the Mare Cimmerium, Jarvis and Tweel find a line of small pyramids tens of thousands of years old made of silica bricks, each open at the top. As they follow the line, the pyramids slowly become larger and newer. By the time the pyramids are ten feet high, the travelers reach the end of the line and find a pyramid that is not open at the top. As they watch, a creature with gray scales, one arm, a mouth and a pointed tail pushes its way out of the top of the pyramid, pulls itself several yards along the ground, then plants itself in the ground by the tail. It starts exhaling bricks from its mouth at ten-minute intervals and using them to build another pyramid around itself. Jarvis realizes that the creature is silicon-based rather than carbon-based; neither animal, vegetable nor mineral, but a little of each. The strange combination of a creature produces the solid substance silica and builds itself in with the by-product, then sleeps for an unknown length of time. As the two approach a canal cutting across Xanthus, Jarvis is feeling homesick for New York City, thinking about Fancy Long, a woman he knows from the cast of the Yerba Mate Hour show. When he sees Long standing by the canal, he begins to approach her, but is stopped by Tweel. Tweel takes out a gun that fires poisoned glass needles and shoots Long, who vanishes, replaced by one of the tentacled creatures that Jarvis rescued Tweel from at their first meeting. Jarvis realizes that the tentacled creature, which he names a dream-beast, lures its prey by projecting illusions into their minds.
