Roadside Picnic

A cult work by the Strugatsky brothers — the top Russian science fiction of all time. The number one sci-fi book in Russia in terms of imitations and sequels.
In the history of science fiction, there is no other work that has been read with such eager interest both in the 1970s and in the 2020s. "Roadside Picnic" is the perfect choice for a first acquaintance with the Strugatskys. And a mandatory volume on the shelf of anyone who has ever pondered the nature of miracles.
Under this cover is the text of "Picnic" plus two screenplays that formed the basis of the legendary "Stalker" by Tarkovsky. And the main gift: a map of the literary legacy of the authors, which will see the light for the first time. A whole universe of the Strugatskys — works, characters, locations — in one detailed scheme.
