Аэлита. Гиперболоид инженера Гарина

This edition includes the famous science fiction novels by Alexei Tolstoy - "Aelita" and "Engineer Garin's Hyperboloid", created in the twenties of the last century. The author himself spoke of his fantastic books with warmth and humor: "Without fantasy, an artist is still boring, somehow prudent ... An artist by nature is a liar, that's the point!" Met by contemporary writers with a fair amount of prejudice, "Aelita" and "Engineer Garin's Hyperboloid", however, became not only outstanding examples of social fiction of their time, they are still able to captivate the reader with their vivid imagery, touching and subtle psychologism, adventurous plot and topical issues.
