The Fallen & The Kiss Of Dusk [Bok / Inbunden]

»Bröderna Strugatskij -- det är mäktig, begåvad litteratur <i>på riktigt</i>. Levande klassiker i ordets rätta bemärkelse. De är galaktiska stjärnor av samma storleksordning som en Ray Bradbury eller en Kurt Vonnegut, tro mig. Ni har bara inte kunnat se dem ordentligt hos er på det västra halvklotet.« <i>Dmitrij Gluchovskij</i><br/><br/><br/><br/><b>År 2157.</b> Ungkommunisten och rymdutforskaren Maxim Kammerer kraschlandar och blir strandsatt på en okänd planet som visar sig vara bebodd av humanoider. Han inleder genast en första kontakt och blir snart indragen i planeten Sarakshs primitiva livsföring och obegripliga politiska konflikter, som står i bjärt kontrast till Jorden där det klasslösa samhället har förverkligats och alla lever i harmoni. En dag bestämmer han sig för att omkullkasta den rådande ordningen...<br/><br/>»Den bebodda ön« av Arkadij och Boris Strugatskij från 1969/71 är en av de mest inflytelserika science fiction-romanerna från sovjettiden och har en särskild plats inom rysk litteraturhistoria med sin dystopiska och filosofiska skildring av individens kamp mot totalitära system och sina reflektioner om maktmissbruk, fri vilja och ideologisk manipulation. Romanen har inte tidigare översatts till svenska. <br/><br/>Efterord Boris Strugatskij <br/><br/>Översättning Ola Wallin <br/><br/><i></i>

VIDE. TACE.</i></b><br/><br/>The Catenan Republic-the Hierarchy-may rule the world now, but they do not know everything.<br/><br/>I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive and my focus-what they call Will-to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.<br/><br/>I tell them that I belong, and they believe me.<br/><br/>But the truth is that I have been sent to the Academy to find answers. To solve a murder. To search for an ancient weapon. To uncover secrets that may tear the Republic apart.<br/><br/>And that I will never, ever cede my Will to the empire that executed my family.<br/><br/>To survive, though, I will still have to rise through the Academy's ranks. I will have to smile, and make friends, and pretend to be one of them and <i>win</i>. Because if I cannot, then those who want to control me, who know my real name, will no longer have any use for me.<br/><br/>And if the Hierarchy finds out who I truly am, they will kill me.
