Out of the Silent Planet - Stephen Brock

I really enjoyed this book of the Space Trilogy, I especially love the way that Lewis created these different and distinct hnau, or what I translate as intelligent or sentient Beings. Each of these different species have their ultimate purpose in Malecandra, and they know their place. The seroni
were the more intelligent ones who sort of resembled scientists and historians, they were well knowledges of the way of the universe. The pfifltrigg were the workers, they were also intelligent but channeled that creativity into a sort of pragmatic way of accomplishment. Third there was the Hrossa, which the book goes into the most detail. The Hrossa were, most comparable to humans, in that they advanced in language and making great poems. These Hrossa were very mythopoetic in their poems and created great ballads attributing greatness to certain people, places, or feelings.
Just the way this world of Malecandra interweaves and interlocks varying duties and purposes of existence give this place an almost perfect existence. Without the Greed and envy characteristics these species can live in perfect Harmony and Balance with each other because each doesn't desire the duty of another species.
