Kir Bulychev is the second magnitude in the domestic fiction of the XX century after the Strugatsky brothers. Several generations of readers grew up on his books, and the first reader's love is long-lasting and does not pass with the years. Founder of the Great Guslyar, godfather of Alice Selezneva, a girl from the future of the Earth, chronicler of the works and days of Dr. Pavlysha and his friends from the crew of the interplanetary starship "Segezha", pilot on the river Chronos, connecting different shores of Russia in time - Kir Bulychev is multidimensional, like life itself, in his literary universe there is a place and humorous prank, and caustic, merciless irony, and the wisdom of a scientist and visionary. It has everything but boredom. Fantastic stories and tales about the city of Veliky Guslyar, which stands on the river Gus in the Vologda region, one of the undisputed successes of the master (the collection includes the best, most famous works from this cycle). The city itself is famous for the fact that it is located on the "earth's bulge", and therefore visible to aliens from space better than any other city in the world. That is why they are frequent guests in this Russian northern city. Some representatives of the population of Great Guslar do not put a finger in the mouth. For example, Nikolai Ivanovich Lozhkin, a pensioner who wears a special watch that makes people around him strongly dislike him. And some others. But mostly people here are responsive, good, though with a temper. Here, for example, the big-mouthed Korneliy Udalov. What only with him in life does not happen - then he is abducted by aliens, then over him put scientists another of their crazy experiments. And he can't cope with everything... The name of artist Yevgeny Migunov brightly sounded in the mid-1960's, when the story-tale for young scientists "Monday Begins on Saturday" Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. The image of Sasha Privalov has become so familiar to all readers that we can no longer imagine another Privalov. And the illustrations to the cycles of Kir Bulychev's works about the adventures of Alice Selezneva and the Great Guslyar (the latter are presented in this book) are a direct confirmation of this. Part of the illustrations for the collection is made by the artist Victor Mineyev, who took over the baton and worthily continued the Master's work.
