Product Details
- One of the Strugatsky Brothers is a descendant of Gogol and the other is a descendant of Chekhov, but no one is sure which is which. This book is absolutely amazing. -Ursula K. Le Guin-Whether it's all science fiction or not, this book is one of the best, most impressive books I've ever read. -Theodore Sturgeon-How do you explain fantastic events with non-fantastic assumptions?Arkadi and Boris Strugatski are the only duo who deserve the title of the greatest science fiction writers of the Soviet period with their intellectually provocative, incredibly entertaining, brave and critical books. One Billion Years to the Apocalypse, which was subjected to the wrath of censorship while it was still in draft form, is one of the most extraordinary and contradictory novels of the authors.Dmitry Malyanov, an astrophysicist, sends his family to Odessa, to his wife's mother's house, to focus on his project, which he believes will win him the Nobel Prize.But there is a problem; Even though he is alone, he is constantly disturbed. First, a box full of vodka and caviar, and then a beautiful woman in a miniskirt appears at her door. These visits become endless when his scientist friends stop by while passing by. They all claim that they are on the verge of a great discovery but are suddenly distracted.Does a dark force want to prevent scientific developments? Or is there a more natural explanation for all this? One Billion Years to the Apocalypse, literature says It's not you, it's the universe! the way he says. Show more

Arkadi Strugatski Boris Strugatski Format: Kağıt Kapak Editorial Review
**** "One Billion Years to the Apocalypse" presents readers with an intricate exploration of philosophical science fiction that transcends typical genre boundaries. The Strugatsky brothers' unique blend of thought-provoking themes and abstract narratives sets this book apart from conventional sci-fi. The reviews suggest the book demands a thoughtful engagement, prompting readers to grapple with existential questions and the absurdity of life, mirroring the uncertainty faced by the characters within. The narrative is characterized by its complexity, often leaving readers in a state of bewilderment that echoes the experiences of the characters. This style may not appeal to everyone, particularly those who are newer to science fiction or prefer a more straightforward plot. Instead, seasoned fans of the genre may find themselves challenged and stimulated by the depth and philosophical undercurrents of the story. While some readers praised the book for its depth and the engagement it fosters with the core themes of existence and intelligence, others noted it can be confusing and lacks immediate accessibility. The non-linear storytelling and a series of seemingly unrelated events can lead to frustration for those expecting a more traditional narrative flow. In summary, "One Billion Years to the Apocalypse" is a richly layered work that invites readers to explore complex ideas about existence, intelligence, and the nature of reality. It may not be for everyone, but for those who relish an intellectual challenge wrapped in a sci-fi setting, it promises a rewarding experience. **
