One of the best books about dragons. What more can be said? Together with Barbara Hambley's Dragonbane, which is also featured in this library, Ritual forms the pinnacle of dragon fantasy. ...

Trunkat Tour: "The Adventures of Hooke"
Question. You know a lot of books, after reading which, a boy from the 6th-7th grade of a secondary school will firmly decide to become a biologist, fill the whole apartment with articles, drawings, textbooks, will regularly travel to another city (look at the living object of his dream), and after graduating from school, he will enter to the Faculty of Biology, and only many years later, under the influence of circumstances (and dragons ...) will change course to technology ...

Vl. Savchenko: Black Stars
In 2001, in Kharkov, I was lucky to meet Vladimir Savchenko. I told him the same thing that I will say now: it was the novel "Black Stars" that made me a science fiction writer, and I remember it, perhaps, like no other.

The living blades call themselves "The Shining Ones", and consider humans to be their "Appendages", not even realizing that humans are also sentient. People, in turn, do not realize that many of their actions ...

During a terrible storm, the young silver wing Shade lost his flock, but in return he met a faithful companion - the bat Marina. Unfortunately, once upon a time...

Clifford Simak: "The City"
Simak’s very first novel, in my opinion, remains his best work. The stunning saga of the Websters asserts with enviable force a monumental truth: it makes no difference what you look like or who you were born into. The main thing is the mind. ...

Roger Zelazny: "A night in a dreary October"
