Arkady Strugatsky. Monday for all times. Biography and creativity
14.99 €
This collection is a tribute to the great writer of the 20th century, the Strugatsky Brothers.
In the late 80s, the Strugatsky Brothers were often overcome by doubts - will their books be read in thirty or forty years? Almost half a century has passed since then, but interest in the Strugatskys has not waned.
The book is dedicated primarily to the elder brother - Arkady Natanovich - and is published on the centenary of his birth. But in a literary tandem, it is impossible to divide the author, the Strugatsky Brothers, into two. Each has his own life destiny, but the literary one is practically
common.
And the biography of a writer is, first of all, his work.
So we will talk about creativity - about the creation of books, translations, work as an editor. And about the hero of the day - Arkady Natanovich. And about the books themselves ...
"... humanity, apparently, awaits a very complex, very contradictory future. And if we enter this future at the level of thinking that slows down development, then we will not survive – neither the competition with the West, nor the struggle for the existence of humanity. I do not mean only war. Ecology, drug addiction, debauchery, disgusting consumerism – all this is very scary. So, as they say, we will fight!" (Arkady Strugatsky, from an interview, 1987)
