Angel's Egg Produced from Galaxy Science Fiction June 1951 Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Angel's Egg" by Edgar Pangborn is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The book explores profound themes through the eyes of Dr. David Bannerman as he discovers a mysterious angelic creature hatched from a peculiar blue egg laid in his chicken coop. The novel delves into concepts of intelligence, mortality, and the intricacies of life, framed within a narrative that intertwines poignant observations with elements of the fantastical. In the story, Dr. Bannerman, a reclusive scholar and former biology teacher, becomes the accidental guardian of an otherworldly angel after her unusual birth from the egg. As he forms a deep bond with her, they engage in profound conversations that span the nature of existence, the potential for human goodness, and the angel's journey from another planet. The narrative intricately blends Bannerman's mundane life with the angel's extraordinary existence, inviting readers to reflect on their own humanity and the future of the human race in light of the angel’s revelations about love, kindness, and cosmic responsibility. Through their interactions, the story bridges the gap between the ordinary and the divine, prompting a meditative exploration on the meaning of life itself.
