Narrative In Favor Of Books The Snail on the Slope

The Snail on the Slope takes place in two worlds. One is the Administration, an institution run by a surreal, Kafkaesque bureaucracy whose aim is to govern the forest below. The other is the Forest, a place of fear, weird creatures, primitive people and violence. Peretz, who works at the Administration, wants to visit the Forest. Candide crashed in the Forest years ago and wants to return to the Administration. Their journeys are surprising and strange, and readers are left to puzzle out the mysteries of these foreign environments. The Strugatskys themselves called The Snail on the Slope “the most perfect and the most valuable of our works.”

Review updated on August 5, 2019.This is the book that cemented Strugatsky brothers status as classics of world science fiction and also the status of the best Soviet science fiction writers in Russian language. It is also the book that brought lots of troubles to its authors from the Soviet powers: Soviet bureaucrats understood their satirical description and it really hurt them. It was aimed to.First of all I need to mention that this is not similar to better-known Roadside Picnic in any

Dropped after fifty pages. Reads awful, like it was machine translated.

Serbocroatian readers: Stay away from the Kentaur-published edition! Half the book is missing, which I have realized only after I have completed the book.

Fantastic. Grotesque. I would add hopeful and closeted.

A present without grounding. Metaphors without basis because how better to predict the Future than to write something wholly outside of it?And yet this is also an intensely
