Robert Sheckley's science fiction is not subject to the influence of time. It will always be read as long as there is a reading human. After all, if a book is truly witty, that is both sharp and smart, it will find its reader regardless of the whims of fashion and the division into genres and directions. Sheckley's novels, novellas, and stories have long since become true classics of science fiction — and it doesn't matter what language the world reader reads them in. Interesting, smart, and funny — these are the three mighty pillars on which the island named "Robert Sheckley" stands in the ocean of literature. And any reader who has discovered this island will return to it again and again because it is impossible not to return to where a piece of your heart remains.
