STRANGE JOHN

,

A homo superior is born. Odd John is an ordinary man, at least in appearance. What makes him different? Why does he qualify as a superhuman? Olaf Stapledon follows him from the moment of his birth. He records his childhood -when his strength becomes apparent- his adolescence and his full maturity.

John passes very rapidly through all the stages of human experience and knowledge, in all fields, and once reaching fulfillment, he seeks and finds his equals, people of exceedingly higher intellectual and spiritual capacities than those of the common man. He creates a commune, “the true community” envisioned by Stapledon, which finally conquers the deep essence of humanity. This perfection is a challenge, but it is also fear and risk, resulting in unexpected developments. Strange John is still considered today the best novel ever written on the subject of superman.
