Re: Translated SF Authors

Ah!

It's a humoristic Sci-Fi bordering on Fantasy. It's sequel is called "Skazka o Troyke" -"The fairy-tale about Troika" - this one is purely satiric on Soviet bereaucracy. But no less entertaining - I remember I loughed almost to death.


Les revenants des étoiles, collection "Le Rayon Fantastique" - Don't know what novel is meant
  • Le petit, éditions Fleuve Noir, collection "Les best sellers de la science-fiction soviétique" - The little one is simply emazing
  • Les vagues éteignent le vent, collection "Présence du futur" - the third part of the trilogy about Maxim Kammerer
  • Il est difficile d'être un dieu (1964), collection "Présence du futur" - Progressor activities of earthlings on a distant planet where reign Middle Ages.
  • Le lundi commence le samedi (1966), collection "Présence du futur" - it's what you have already read
  • L'escargot sur la pente (1969), éditions Champ Libre, réédition Presses Pocket - Snail on the slope - It's deeply philosophic and sometimes hard for understanding.
  • La troïka (1972), éditions Albin Michel -
  • Les mutants du brouillard (1972), éditions Albin Michel, réédition Hachette sous le titre "Destin boiteux"
  • Stalker (1972), collection "Présence du futur" - Roadside picnuic
  • Un gars de l'enfer (1974), collection "Présence du futur" - The Guy from Hell - Interesting, the Progressors' Universe
  • Le dernier cercle du paradis (1976), éditions Le Masque - Don't know such a book!
  • L'île habitée (1980), éditions "Têtes de feuilles", collection Outrepart - The first part of the Maxim's trilogy. The apocaliptic one where young Maxim makes crash landing on the post nuclear war world. The world is called Saraksh. And a phrase "Massaraksh" which means "wold insideout" and may correspond to English ranging from "Holy Sh.." to "OMG" was widely spread among Soviet SF fans. Very interesting.
  • L'auberge de l'alpiniste mort (1982), collection "Présence du futur" - it was even filmed. SF detective.
  • L'arc en ciel lointain (1982), éditions Fleuve Noir, collection "Les best sellers de la science-fiction soviétique" - Apocaliptic novel studying ethical problems of bravness and betrayal, human goodness and weakness.
  • Le scarabée dans la fourmilière (1982), éditions Fleuve Noir, collection "Les best sellers de la science-fiction soviétique" - 2nd novel of Maxim's trilody. Probably the best of the three books.
  • La seconde invasion des martiens (1983), éditions Fleuve Noir, collection "Les best sellers de la science-fiction soviétique" - Satire
  • Un milliard d'années avant la fin du monde (1983), éditions Fleuve Noir, collection "Les best sellers de la science-fiction soviétique" - was filmed, an interesting hypothesis underlies this book.
