WORLDS APART: New Anthology of Russian Fantasy and Science Fiction Makes Safe Landing


Worlds Apart, an extraordinary new collection of Russian fantasy and science fiction is now available in bookstores. Edited by Alexander Levitsky, this anthology includes selections that represent the works of Russia's best authors and the dominant themes of her history: Myth and the Fairy Tale, Utopianism and Dystopianism, Mechanization and Modernization, Space Flight, and more. The authors range from familiar figures - Gogol, Dostoevsky, and Bulgakov - to writers practically unknown outside the Slavic world such as Derzhavin, Bulgarin, Kuprin, and Pilniak. For the fantasy enthusiast and to anyone with an abiding interest in Russian history and culture, Worlds Apart is an indispensable volume.
