Aniara

1956 poem by Harry Martinson

Aniara (Swedish: Aniara: en revy om människan i tid och rum, lit. 'Aniara: a revue of man in time and space') is a book-length epic science fiction poem written by Swedish Nobel laureate Harry Martinson from 1953 to 1956. It narrates the tragedy of a large passenger spacecraft carrying a cargo of colonists escaping destruction on Earth veering off course, leaving the Solar System and entering into an existential struggle. The style is symbolic, sweeping and innovative for its time, with creative use of neologisms to suggest the science fictional setting.
