''The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke'', first published in 2001, is a collection of almost all science fiction stories written by Arthur C. Clarke: it includes 114〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Open Library.org )〕 in all arranged in order of publication, "Travel by Wire!" in 1937 through to "Improving the Neighbourhood" in 1999. The story "Improving The Neighbourhood" has the distinction of being the first fiction published in the journal ''Nature''. The titles "Venture to the Moon" and "The Other Side of the Sky", are not stories but the series titles for groups of six interconnected stories, each story with its own title. This collection is missing several stories, for example "When the Twerms Came" which appears in his other collections ''More Than One Universe'' and ''The View from Serendip''. This edition contains a foreword by Clarke written in 2000, where he speculates on the science fiction genre in relation to the concept of short stories. Furthermore, many of the stories have a short introduction about its publication history or its literary nature. In addition to the printed edition, an audio edition was published by Fantastic Audio in 2001. The audio edition, comprising five volumes, runs nearly fifty hours. An electronic edition of the book was published in four volumes by RosettaBooks in 2012. ==Contents== * Foreword #"Travel by Wire!" #"How We Went to Mars" #"Retreat from Earth" #"Reverie" #"The Awakening" #"Whacky" #"Loophole" #"Rescue Party" #"Technical Error" #"Castaway" #"The Fires Within" #"Inheritance" #"Nightfall" #"History Lesson" #"Transience" #"The Wall of Darkness" #"The Lion of Comarre" #"The Forgotten Enemy" #"Hide-and-Seek" #"Breaking Strain" #"Nemesis" #"Guardian Angel" #"Time's Arrow" #"A Walk in the Dark" #"Silence Please" #"Trouble with the Natives" #"The Road to the Sea" #"The Sentinel" #"Holiday On the Moon" #"Earthlight" #"Second Dawn" #"Superiority" #"If I Forget Thee, Oh Earth" #"All The Time in the World" #"The Nine Billion Names of God" #"The Possessed" #"The Parasite" #"Jupiter Five" #"Encounter in the Dawn" #"The Other Tiger" #"Publicity Campaign" #"Armaments Race" #"The Deep Range" #"No Morning After" #"Big Game Hunt" #"Patent Pending" #"Refugee" #"The Star" #"What Goes Up" #"Venture to the Moon" (six individual connected stories) #"The Starting Line" # "Robin Hood, F.R.S." # "Green Fingers" # "All that Glitters" # "Watch this Space" # "A Question of Residence" #"The Pacifist" #"The Reluctant Orchid" #"Moving Spirit" #"The Defenestration of Ermintrude Inch" #"The Ultimate Melody" #"The Next Tenants" #"Cold War" #"Sleeping Beauty" #"Security Check" #"The Man Who Ploughed the Sea" #"Critical Mass" #"The Other Side of the Sky" (six individual connected stories) #"Special Delivery" #"Feathered Friends" #"Take a Deep Breath" #"Freedom of Space" #"Passer-by" #"The Call of the Stars" #"Let There Be Light" #"Out of the Sun" #"Cosmic Casanova" #"The Songs of Distant Earth" #"(A Slight Case of Sunstroke )" #"Who's There?" #"Out of the Cradle, Endlessly Orbiting..." #"I Remember Babylon" #"Trouble with Time" #"Into the Comet" #"Summertime on Icarus" #"Saturn Rising" #"Death and the Senator" #"Before Eden" #"Hate" #"Love That Universe" #"Dog Star" #"Maelstrom II" #"An Ape About the House" #"The Shining Ones" #"The Secret" #"Dial F for Frankenstein" #"The Wind from the Sun" #"The Food of the Gods" #"The Last Command" #"Light of Darkness" #"The Longest Science-fiction Story Ever Told" #"Playback" #"The Cruel Sky" #"Herbert George Morley Roberts Wells, Esq." #"Crusade" #"Neutron Tide" #"Reunion" #"Transit of Earth" #"A Meeting with Medusa" #"Quarantine" #"'siseneG': 'Genesis' spelled backwards" #"The Steam-powered Word Processor" #"On Golden Seas" #"The Hammer of God" #"The Wire Continuum" (with Stephen Baxter) #"Improving the Neighbourhood" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Collected Stories of Arthur C.
