About the book: year / Recently, walking past the bookstores, I suddenly saw one strange book, “The Worlds of the Strugatsky Brothers. The time of the disciples." This was interesting, because these writers are still among my favorite authors of modern literature. I didn’t even consider their novels to be fiction; it seemed to me that they simply magically saw and described events that took place in infinitely distant, but no less real worlds than ours. And this world has not died, it continues to live its life, regardless of whether any of us describe it or not. The story “Snake's Milk” was especially memorable for its beautiful idea. That puny boys sometimes grow into men. And they do things. And when I read the last sentence of this story, a finished novel suddenly flashed in my head. It was as if we were able to look into this world and see new, completely unexpected events taking place right now in this wonderful world. P. Iskra
