Hungarian Summary:

C. S. Lewis Kozmikus trilógiájának első kötete. Egy viharos nyári estén Ransom, a magányos turista félreeső erdei házban keres éjszakai szállást. Balszerencséjére két különös tudóshoz téved be, akik egy távoli, lakott bolygóra készülnek. Űrhajójukon – az ottani kincsekért cserébe– egy emberpéldányt kell magukkal hurcolniuk. Ransom, a kiszemelt áldozat, számos megpróbáltatáson megy keresztül. Malacandra bolygóján döbben rá, hogy miért tartják a Földet az univerzumban a tragikus sorsú „csendes bolygónak”.
