This edition presents the science fiction works of Alexei Tolstoy. "The Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin" (1927) tells the story of a Russian scientist who strives to achieve grandiose goals with the help of an unimaginably dangerous invention. "Aelita" (1923) tells the reader about a space journey, an amazing alien civilization, and the love of an earthling and the daughter of the ruler of Mars. In the story "The Union of Five" (1925), a community of power-hungry magnates intends to destroy the Moon in order to take over the world, but soon faces the unforeseen consequences of such a decision. These works, initially perceived critically by their contemporaries, are today considered classics of Soviet science fiction. The texts are typeset from the first publications that appeared in the magazine "Krasnaya Nov'". The illustrations for them for this collection were created by the artist Tatyana Kosach. Her iconographic and graphic works can be found in private collections of art lovers around the world. In the “Library of World Literature” series, her drawings have repeatedly decorated editions of works by Russian and foreign classics.
