Using the voice of Lazarus, Heinlein expounds his own philosophies, including his radical (for 1946) ideas on sexual freedom. Time Enough for Love is his lovingly detailed account of his journey through a vast and magnificent timescape of centuries and worlds. Born in the early 1900s, he lives through multiple centuries. Lazarus Long is so in love with life that he simply refuses to die. He is “the senior” – the oldest man alive in the Galactic Year 2053 – the man who is forever young.Īnd Heinlein traces his fantastic life – or lives – through many marvelous identities: from Lazarus Long who lead the first great exodus from Earth to Aaron Sheffield, interstellar star-ship captain, through to Ted Bronson, the time-traveler, catapulted through time back to Earth in 1916. And there is time enough indeed for love, as Lazerus Long’s lifespan covers 23 centuries. Heinlein, award-winning maestro of the SF world, surpasses himself in this, his most powerful novel.
