Título: Childhood's End
Autor: Arthur Charles Clarke
Sinopse: Childhood's End is a science fiction novel by Sir Arthur C. Clarke, dealing with the role of Mind in the cosmos and the plausible implications of that role for the evolution of the human race. It was originally published in 1953 but first appeared as a 1950 short story titled "Guardian Angel" in Famous Fantastic Mysteries magazine. The original publication is the novel after the prologue, Earth and the Overlords, with some different text in certain places. A new first chapter was substituted in 1990, owing to anachronisms in the opening scene. (Clarke incorrectly estimated that the Moon landing would take place in the late 1970s). Editions since have appeared with the original opening or including both alternatives.
