"The Lion of Comarre & Against the Fall of Night" are early stories by Arthur C. Clarke.

This volume is a collection of two early works by Arthur C. Clarke. Originally published in 1968, it has been reprinted several times. Both concern Earth in the far future, with a utopian but static human society.

"Against the Fall of Night" was later expanded and revised as "The City and the Stars", one of Clarke's best-known works.

"The Lion of Comarre" has a similar theme: it is about dissatisfied young man in search "something more" in a future society that believes it has discovered everything and ceases to advance. It is not, however, the same 'future history'.
