Robert Sheckley (1928 - 2005) - the "holy monster" of SF, whose name, along with the names of Asimov, Bradbury, Heinlein, Saimak, is inscribed in the history of Anglo-American literature in golden letters. The author of two dozen novels and the same number of collections, he is primarily famous for his humorous and satirical works.
In "The Walk of Joenis," a Polynesian who plans to visit the country of his ancestors - America, experiences a series of truly surreal adventures, gets acquainted with representatives of the most diverse social strata of American society and even gets to the USSR! A satirical pamphlet as much as a philosophical treatise and a novel of knavery, "The Walk of Joenis" ranks with the best novels of Kurt Vonnegut, and is related to the works of Voltaire, Kafka, and Jaroslav Hašek. This is the first time the novel has been published in its entirety! In The Optimal Option, shipwrecked space trader Tom Mishkin is forced to undergo severe trials to repair his ship and leave the fantastically absurd planet Harmony, where there are at least a dozen answers to every question and nothing is what it seems.
