Homunculus. The Adventures of Langdon Senteve

James Blaylock, the famous American science fiction writer and winner of numerous prestigious awards, initiated the steampunk movement in literature. His novel "Homunculus" is a true gem of this genre: an absurdist "black comedy" where the atmosphere, customs, and technologies... of the Victorian era coexist with the mysteries of ancient magic, the enigmas of distant space, and thrilling adventures in the spirit of Jules Verne and Herbert Wells.
"Homunculus" is the first in a series of works narrating the astonishing exploits of Professor Langdon Senteve, a scholar-inventor, a great seeker of curiosities, and a gentleman to the core.
Blaylock's novel has been awarded the Philip K. Dick Award. First time in Russian.
