«A Era das Aves» is the science fiction novel by James Blish, published by Livros do Brasil in paperback (179 pages, in Portuguese).
An accident hurls the mind of young astrophysicist John Martels into the 250th century, some 23,000 years in the future. Human civilization has fallen and risen several times; birds have evolved to be telepathic and seek to exterminate humans. Without a physical body, Martels struggles to preserve his mind and the survival of the species.
Work originally published as Midsummer Century in 1972; the Portuguese translation is by António Porto. This edition by Livros do Brasil dates from 1995.
For readers of classic science fiction interested in evolution, telepathy, and the remote future of humanity.
