Note: Original title stated as just 'On the Way to the Stars': it is not clear if this comprises of all the essays in that series published in Science Fiction Monthly or only a fraction. It does begin with some introductory words on the early use of space ships in sf and ends with an account of Arthur C. Clarke's A Meeting with Medusa and The Wind from the Sun. Translated by W. Fuchs, who is probably Walter A. Fuchs.
