Fantastic worlds Heinlein, whether near or deep space, modern or future Earth, well-maintained or disadvantaged planets, inhabited by living people and look sometimes more real than the reality that surrounds us. In this collection under one cover are four novels grandmaster of American fiction. United by the theme of space, they go beyond thematic limits, they are important not the adventures of the body, although it is an important component, but the spirit of freedom, search, the spirit of struggle, and - as a result of the struggle - victory. Hugh Hoyland in "Passengers of the Universe", doomed on board the "Vanguard", a lost ghost ship, to live a miserable existence as a half-slave, has an epiphany when he sees the starry sky. Torby in Citizen of the Galaxy, kidnapped by slave traders in his early childhood, throws off his slave shackles and makes his way to the stars. Young Podkayne Fries, a citizen of the Martian Republic who has traveled by transit through Venus to Earth, accomplishes the real-life feat. Maximillian Jones, who has set a goal in life at all costs to become an astronaut, sits at the helm of a starship. To go through incredible trials, to win and find courage - this is what Heinlein writes about.
