Hard to Be a God

Autor Arkady Strugatsky, Boris Strugatsky Traducere de Olena Bormashenko
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2014
Arkady and Boris Strugatsky are widely known as the greatest Russian writers of science fiction, and their 1964 novel "Hard to Be a God" is considered one of the greatest of their works.
It tells the story of Don Rumata, who is sent from Earth to the medieval kingdom of Arkanar with instructions to observe and to influence, but never to directly interfere. Masquerading as an arrogant nobleman, a dueler and a brawler, Don Rumata is never defeated but can never kill. With his doubt and compassion, and his deep love for a local girl named Kira, Rumata wants to save the kingdom from the machinations of Don Reba, the First Minister to the king. But given his orders, what role can he play?
"Hard to Be a God" has inspired a computer role-playing game and two movies, including Aleksei German s long-awaited swan song. Yet until now the only English version (out of print for over thirty years) was based on a German translation, and was full of errors, infelicities, and misunderstandings. This new edition translated by Olena Bormashenko, whose translation of the authors "Roadside Picnic" has received widespread acclaim, and supplemented with a new foreword by Hari Kunzru and an afterword by Boris Strugatsky, both of which supply much-needed context reintroduces one of the most profound Soviet-era novels to an eager audience."

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Another SF Masterwork from the giants of Soviet science fiction, Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.

Anton is an undercover operative from future Earth, who travels to an alien world whose culture has not progressed beyond the Middle Ages. Although in possession of far more advanced knowledge than the society around him, he is forbidden to interfere with the natural progress of history. His place is to observe rather than interfere - but can he remain aloof in the face of so much cruelty and injustice ...?
