The Great Master, the author of a huge number of books, he equally famously wrote both one-page stories and multi-volume sagas. Combining the gift of a popularizer of science and a "teacher," with the help of seemingly simple plot moves that make us think about life and the world around us, he again pleases us with his boundless talent. Even if you think that you know everything about the author, read this collection and make sure that "in reality everything looks different than in the case itself," because some of the works included in this collection are published in Russian for the first time!
