The Strugatsky brothers — Arkady Natanovich and Boris Natanovich — are Russian Soviet writers, co-authors, screenwriters, classics of modern science and social fiction.

"It's hard to be a god." Probably the most famous of the Strugatsky brothers' novels.

The story of an earthman who became an "observer" on a planet stuck in the Late Middle Ages and forced to "not interfere" in what is happening has been filmed several times - however, even the best film cannot convey the full talent of the book on which it was filmed!..

"Monday starts on Saturday. A fairy tale for younger scientists" – under this heading, a book was published in 1965, which was read and continues to be read by more and more new generations. Its heroes, employees of the NIICHAVO, a Research Institute of Witchcraft and Wizardry, are magicians and masters, young enthusiasts, burning with a desire to know the world and transform it in the best way. Along the way, they will have many amazing adventures and amazing discoveries. A time machine and a hut on chicken legs, the cultivation of an artificial person and the pacification of a genie released from a bottle – will not leave you indifferent!
