About the book: 2001 / Olga Larionova - author of the stunning "Leopard from the Top of Kilimanjaro", the poetic and prosaic "Tales of Kings" and "Sonata of the Sea" - and many other novels, novellas and short stories that have long been classics of Russian fantastic prose. Before you is Larionova’s magnificent trilogy “Chakra of the Centaur”. A trilogy that was supposed to be just a parody of “space operas” - but instead became, perhaps, the most , a poetic and beautiful saga in the entire history of Russian science fiction... This is the legend of the strange and wonderful planet Jasper. About a planet of proud lords fighting with swords - and sending spaceships to the distant worlds of alien stars. About a planet where the future is read in magical cards, and robots are called servs. About a planet where they fight with laser disruptors at royal tournaments, gather knightly squads for space travel - and sacredly observe the ancient Treaty with the wise Krag birds. For without the sight of a Kreg, every person on this planet is blind. For only through the eyes of the Kregs do the inhabitants of Jasper see the world around them. That's just - what do they see?..Contents: Chakra of the Centaur (Sketch of composition No. 413), pp. 5-128 Della Wella (Queen's Journey), pp. 129-378 Gospel according to Craig (Funeral Symphony-I), pp.. 379-760
