The modern classic Dan Simmons is the renowned author of "Terror", "Drood" and "The Fifth Heart", the fantastic epic "Hyperion" / "Endymion", "The Dark Game of Death" and "Summer of Night", winner and finalist of almost a hundred prestigious literary awards in various genres ("Hugo", "Nebula", the World Fantasy Award, the Bram Stoker Award, the Locus Magazine Award, the Arthur C. Clarke Award, the British Science Fiction Association Award, as well as many others, including Japanese, German, French, Italian, Spanish awards). In the "Troy" dilogy, composed by the novels "Ilion" and "Olympus", he finally returned to the genre that made him famous at the beginning of his career — a large-scale space opera with many allusions from classical literature. Here intelligent Moravec robots, having set off from the moons of Jupiter to investigate the anomalous quantum activity of Mars, discuss the comparative merits of Shakespeare and Proust along the way; here the Olympian gods, using all the wonders of nanotechnology, send resurrected scholiasts to observe the progress of the Trojan War; here the posthumans leave only a million people on Earth, and here to the Ardis estate-Hall, intending to seduce young Ada, a certain butterfly collector arrives… The translation is published in a new edition.
