Kir Bulychev is the second biggest figure in Russian science fiction of the 1960th 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 fade over the years. The founder of the Great Guslyar, godfather of Alisa Selezneva, girls from the future of the Earth, chronicler of the works and days of Doctor Pavlysh and his friends from the crew of the interplanetary starship “Segezha”, pilot on the Kronos River, connecting different shores of Russia in time - Kir Bulychev is multidimensional, like herself life, in his literary universe there is a place for playful practical jokes, caustic, merciless irony, and the wisdom of a scientist and seer. It has everything except boredom. Fantastic stories and tales about the city of Great Guslyar, which stands on the Gus River in the Vologda region, are one of the indisputable 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 “bulge of the earth”, and therefore is visible to aliens from space better than any other cities in the world. That is why they are frequent guests in this Russian northern city. Do not put your finger in the mouth of individual representatives of the population of Great Guslyar. These include, for example, Nikolai Ivanovich Lozhkin, a pensioner who wears a special watch that causes others to strongly dislike him. And some others. But mostly people here are sympathetic, good, although with character. For example, here is the Great Guslyar player Kornely Udalov. What happens to him in life is that he is abducted by aliens, or that scientists perform another of their crazy experiments on him. But he doesn’t care at all... The name of the artist Evgeny Migunov sounded brightly in the mid-XNUMXs, when a fairy tale for younger scientists “Monday Begins on Saturday” by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky was published. The image of Sasha Privalov has become so familiar to all readers that we can no longer imagine another Privalov. And the illustrations for the cycles of works by Kir Bulychev about the adventures of Alisa Selezneva and the Great Guslyar (the latter are presented in this book) are direct confirmation of this. Some of the illustrations for the collection were made by the artist Viktor Mineev, who took over the baton and worthily continued the work of the Master.
