Alexander Romanovich Belyaev is one of the founders of Soviet science fiction. The father of the future writer wanted his son to follow in his footsteps and become a priest. In 1904, Alexander graduated from the Smolensk Seminary, but refused the role of a spiritual shepherd, enrolling in the Yaroslavl Law Lyceum. Returning to Smolensk, he got a job as a barrister. He could have made a good lawyer - Belyaev was an excellent speaker. In addition, he had a lively temperament and an outstanding artistic gift. And yet the bar, "all this judicial formalism and casuistry," as Belyaev wrote, did not satisfy him. Only literature could give scope for unlimited creativity. Alexander Romanovich began with reports on theatrical performances. He wrote about musical premieres, published feuilletons. Success came when the writer was already over forty. In 1925, he published the story "Professor Dowell's Head", which he later adapted into a novel. The author considered this work partly an autobiographical story, because he had to spend three years in a cast, struggling with a disease of the spine. However, Belyaev overcame his illness, and the forced immobility prompted him to think of describing how the head feels without a body. Then the novels “Island of Lost Ships”, “The Last Man from Atlantis”, “Struggle on the Air” were published ... At this time, Belyaev collaborated with the magazines “World Pathfinder”, “Struggle of the Worlds” and “Around the World”. In 1928, a new all-Union success - his novel "The Amphibian Man" was published. HG Wells wrote that he was a little jealous of the success of Belyaev's novels, and there were quite a few of them before the start of the war. In the thirties, Belyaev became interested in space. He began to correspond with Tsiolkovsky and dedicated his novel The Star of the KETs to him. Belyaev's last lifetime book was the novel Ariel. It was published shortly before the start of World War II.
In this edition, all texts of Belyaev's works are given in the original magazine versions, which often differ from the versions included in the collected works of the writer. Sometimes magazines have a different ending, such as in "Professor Dowell's Head". The illustrations for the book are drawings from the first magazine publications of the writer's novels and stories. Most of them were made by the wonderful artist Georgy Fitingof. In this regard, this publication is unique - it will allow fans of Belyaev's science fiction to feel the same emotions and impressions that the first readers of his novelties in periodicals received, to become owners of rare texts and illustrations.
