The Snail on the Slope
Autor Arkady Strugatsky, Boris Strugatsky Traducere de Olena Bormashenkoen Limba Engleză Hardback – aug 2018
The Snail on the Slope, a masterpiece by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, explores two contrasting realms: the Administration, a bizarre bureaucracy tasked with governing the enigmatic Forest, and the Forest itself, a place of primal fear and strange phenomena. Peretz seeks escape from the Administration, while Candide, a denizen of the Forest, yearns for its sterile order.
As their paths intertwine, readers are drawn into a world where reality blurs and the search for meaning becomes a desperate struggle. Will Peretz and Candide find what they seek, or will they be consumed by the forces that shape their existence? Translated by Olena Bormashenko, this rediscovered classic invites you to confront the unsettling truths of control, identity, and the power of the unknown. Perfect for readers of philosophical science fiction and Russian literature.

Recenzii
A marvellous, subtle, funny book
A fantastic vision of extraordinary power, a difficult, demanding but rewarding work
The Snail on the Slope may be the most dizzyingly concentrated dose of the Strugatskys' strange and powerful medicine
[Arkady and Boris Strugatsky] open windows in the mind and then fail to close them at all, so that, putting down one of their books, you feel a cold breeze still lifting the hairs on the back of your neck
Approached as a meditation on the human inability to comprehend more than a very small part of the universe, this is a surprisingly satisfying, if often perplexing, work
