First published 1985
This Spanish translation brings Bob Shaw's science fiction work to readers through José María Aroca's rendering of the original Night Walk. Published in Buenos Aires as part of the 'Biblioteca de ciencia ficción' series, the 214-page paperback represents Shaw's storytelling during his productive period as a British science fiction author. Shaw, who lived from 1931 to 1996, crafted narratives that explored technological and social themes within accessible adventure frameworks. The translation work by Aroca, born in 1920, makes Shaw's vision available to Spanish-speaking audiences. This edition appeared as volume 25 in the science fiction library series, indicating its place within a curated collection of genre works. The book shows the cross-cultural exchange of science fiction literature during the 1980s, when publishers actively sought to bring English-language genre fiction to international markets through skilled translation work.
