Хроники Маджипура

Hissun, a street urchin, received a job as a government official in the Labyrinth for his help to Lord Valentine. Now he's a clerk at the House of Records. His task is to organize the archives of tax collectors from all continents of the planet. This can lead to discouragement. Useless work - no one will ever need his findings and the results of his work ... But in the Labyrinth, next to the House of Records, there is a more interesting place - the Soul Memory Register. It stores millions of telepathically uploaded consciousnesses of various beings that have lived here for millennia. Their lives are full of tales of love and loss, triumph and fall... And as Hissun immerses himself in the stories of those who lived in other times, he creates his own chronicle - the chronicle of Majipur. The novel in short stories "Chronicles of Majipur" continues the cult trilogy "Majipur" by the world-famous science fiction writer Robert Silverberg. The world of the planet Majipur, where magic acts along with science, is so peculiar and believable that after the publication of the first book of the trilogy, critics compared it with Dune and The Lord of the Rings. The Majipur cycle rightfully occupies a place of honor on the golden shelf of fantasy. Translator Grishin A. Robert Silverberg is the Grand Master of Science Fiction, winner of 6 Nebules, 5 Hugos, 8 Locuses and a dozen other awards. He published his first story at the age of 19, and at the age of 21 won "Hugo" as the most promising young author. Often in one issue of the magazine "Amazing Stories" or "Fantastic" several of his stories appeared under various pseudonyms, of which he had more than three dozen. In the early period of his work, Silverberg sought to reach as large a readership as possible, without neglecting any of the genres - he wrote pop-science, detective stories, erotica. In the years 1967-1976, he completely focused on fantasy, earning the love of both fans of hard science fiction and fantasy sagas (the Majipura cycle).
