Sheckley's books will always be read as long as the reader lives. After all, if a book is truly witty, that is, both sharp and intelligent, it will find its reader regardless of the vagaries of fashion and the division into genres and trends. Sheckley's novels, novellas, and short stories have long been classics, no matter what language the world's readers read them in. Interesting, clever and funny — these are the three mighty whales that hold the island called "Robert Sheckley" in the ocean of literature. And any reader who discovers this island will come back to it again and again, because it is impossible not to return to where a piece of your heart remains.
