The Lion of Comarre & Against the Fall of Night are early stories by Arthur C. Clarke collected together for publication in 1968 by Harcourt Brace and by Gollancz in London in 1970,[1] it has been reprinted several times. Both concern Earth in the far future, with a utopian but static human society.
Against the Fall of Night was later expanded and revised as The City and the Stars, one of Clarke's best-known works.
The Lion of Comarre has a similar theme: it is about a dissatisfied young man in search of "something more" in a future society that believes it has discovered everything and ceases to advance.[1] It does not, however, exist in the same 'future history' as Against the Fall of Night.
