In Vladislav Krapivin's universe, wonder and fantasy operate on equal rights. Space super cruisers of long-range reconnaissance neighbor here with boys flying over the world like winds, witches get along with robots, and schoolchildren choose a very clever robot boy as a friend. Krapivin's universe itself is not just an immense space with starry galaxies-seas and planets-islands in them - it is an immense crystal, the number of faces of which is infinite and on each face there is a different world, similar to the neighboring and different. On one facet is the Earth, where we live. On the neighboring facet is a planet that is practically indistinguishable from ours, only everything here is turned inside out. Because those who command it - creatures of an incomprehensible nature, not even having their own shell, but who inhabit mannequins and statues - have subjugated it to themselves for some insane purpose. "When people become indifferent, lazy or too fed up, when they don't care about their planet, there are those who command. And some people don't mind: it's calmer and easier that way..." - says one of the characters in the novel "The Dovecote in the Yellow Glade". And it seems that this simple truth will not lose its meaning for a long time neither in the twin world of the novel, nor in our world. The cycle of the Great Crystal in the works of Vladislav Krapivin occupies a special place. Works included in the cycle, written at different times, but connected by a single thought - it is not just prose, it is a philosophy of the feat. This is a philosophy of life, such as it must be. Fantastic, and in no other way.
