Red Star. Engineer Manny

Even before Alexei Tolstoy's "Aelita", Russian writers were drawn to the theme of space, the existence of other civilizations, including life on Mars. This collection by Alexander Bogdanov includes the utopian novel "Red Star" — about a terran who finds himself in the communist society of the red planet; its continuation — the "translated from Martian" historical novel about the construction of Martian canals "Engineer Manny" and the story "The Festival of Immortality".
