Surprisingly little is known about Alexander Belyaev, known as a "classic Soviet science fiction writer," and modern biographical information about him is riddled with inaccuracies. A graduate of a theological seminary and law school, he worked in the courts, acted in the theater, was a journalist, and even a police officer. After a series of tragic circumstances, including a serious illness that periodically confined him to bed, Belyaev's life changed: a science fiction writer with a keen sense of modernity and a gift for scientific foresight emerged. He achieved widespread recognition posthumously—Belyaev died of starvation in Nazi-occupied Pushkin.

The author, renowned Israeli literary scholar Zeev Bar-Sella, draws on archival documents, the memoirs of his contemporaries, the writer's writings, and criticism of his work to reconstruct the biography of Alexander Romanovich Belyaev within the context of the difficult times in which he lived and worked.
