Пятая голова Цербера

Kniga Dzhina Vulfa "Pi͡atai͡a golova T͡Serbera" i͡avli͡aetsi͡a priznannym shedevrom nauchnoĭ fantastiki, napisannym odnim iz samykh blesti͡ashchikh pisateleĭ v ėtom zhanre. Daleko ot Zemli, dve planety-bliznet͡sa, Sent-Ann i Sen- Krua, kruzhat drug vokrug druga v vechnom tant͡se. Govori͡at, chto kogda-to zdesʹ zhili oborotni, no ikh rasa vymerla, kogda prishli li͡udi. Pravda odin chelovek verit, chto oni skryvai͡utsi͡a i ikh vse eshchë mozhno naĭti… Grandmaster nauchnoĭ fantastiki i fėntezi Dzhin Vulf umelo perepletaet tri prichudlivye istorii, sozdavai͡a zavorazhivai͡ushchiĭ uzor: dusherazdirai͡ushchiĭ rasskaz o syne bezumnogo genii͡a, kotoryĭ obnaruzhivaet otvratitelʹnoe nasledie; mificheskiĭ poisk molodym aborigenom svoeĭ temnoĭ poloviny; prichudlivai͡a khronika koshmarnogo zakli͡uchenii͡a uchënogo. Podobno zamyslovatomu uzlu, uzor, nakonet͡s, raskryvaetsi͡a, chtoby pokazatʹ udivitelʹnui͡u istinu na fone strannogo inoplanetnogo landshafta.

Gene Wolfe's book "The Fifth Head of Cerberus" is a recognized masterpiece of science fiction written by one of the most brilliant writers in this genre. Far from Earth, two twin planets, Saint-Anne and Saint-Croix, circle each other in an eternal dance. They say that werewolves once lived here, but their race died out when humans came. True, one person believes that they are hiding and they can still be found ... The grandmaster of science fiction and fantasy Gene Wolf skillfully interweaves three bizarre stories, creating a fascinating pattern: a heartbreaking story about the son of a mad genius who discovers a disgusting legacy; a mythical search by a young Aboriginal for his dark half; a bizarre chronicle of a scientist's nightmarish imprisonment. Like an intricate knot, the pattern finally unfolds to reveal an amazing truth against the backdrop of a strange alien landscape.
