The Leningrad school of fiction gave the genre many glorious names. Georgy Martynov, Ilya Varshavsky, Alexander Shalimov, Vadim Shefner... But one of them is worth a felony, and not because its owner is a woman. Olga Larionova in the mid-sixties suddenly lit up in a fantastic sky so brightly that instantly found a huge circle of admirers.
“The Leopard from the Top of Kilimanjaro” is about a novel that, according to network experts, “is not just considered one of Larionova’s best books, but perhaps it can be safely brought into the treasury of world fiction.” If she were an American, the Hugo or Nebula awards (or maybe both) would have gone for sure. It was not published often, but almost every one of the works of the writer that came out in those scanty times (sixties-eighties) was a direct hit to the goal - that is, in the hearts of readers.
And “Watch “Aramis”, seemingly a militant – space smugglers and all that – but how much was in the novelty, freshness, vivid images and difficult, furious situations. And the cycle “Sonat”, inspired by the amazing painting of Ciurlionis. And the Centauri Chakra, initially conceived as a joke and turned into a full-fledged space opera, is a kind of our worthy response to the star king. Hamilton.
Ivan Efremov was right, who saw the golden seed of talent in the young then writer and wished in the preface to her first book “enter the circle of those writers who go the difficult way of searching for ideas about the bright future of our planet.”.
