Robinsons of Space

France isn't much of a science fiction country, compared to, say, America. Besides Jules Verne, who can you recall among French science fiction writers? Almost no one. Ronny senior with his "The Fight for Fire," Maurice Renard, Gérard Klein... Who else? But there's one name in French science fiction that our Russian readers are certainly familiar with: Francis Carsac.
The novel "Robinsons of Space," translated and published in the early 1960s, immediately propelled Carsac to a top spot among Russian readers. A cosmic catastrophe occurs: a piece of the planet breaks away from Earth, and the people living on it find themselves millions of kilometers from home, in a world that must be explored and conquered.
Of the major works, in addition to "Robinsons of Space," this volume includes "The Flight of the Earth." A book about a man from the distant future who tells people of the modern era about a disaster that will threaten the planet and how his great-grandchildren will undertake a grand experiment to save humanity—the Earth's "escape" into the orbit of an alien sun. It also features the famous "Lions of El Dorado" and related stories; a story about a man and a lion, man's intelligent assistant, about the planet El Dorado, its troubles, and its defenders.
The collection of Karsak's works presented in this volume includes abridgements and omissions from previous editions; many of the writer's works included in this book are published in Russian for the first time.
