- Synopsis
- These stories that Ginsburg compiled show the thinking of the Soviet Union scientist-writers of the 1960s. Even though these writers were living in a totalitarian state, they were concerned about the values of individuality, human dignity, and issues related to ultimate reality. By reading these stories, USA readers will learn that, though, separated by ideologies, Americans and the Soviets share the desire for a better human experience and for an authentic humanity. The stories in the collection are the following: "Icarus and Daedalus" by Henrik Altov; "Erem" by Gleb Anfilov; "Formula of Immortality" by Anatoly Dneprov; "When Questions Are Asked" by Anatoly Dneprov; "The Horn of Plenty" by Vladimir Grigoriev; "The Useless Planet" by Olga Larionova; "The Ultimate Threshold" by Herman Maximov; "Invasion" by Roman Podolny; "When You Return" by Igor Rosokhovatsky; "One Less" by Igor Rosokhovatsky; "We Played under Your Window" by Vladimir Shcherbakov; "Preliminary Research" by Ilya Varshavsky; and "He Who Leaves No Trace" by Mikhail Yemtsev and Yeremey Pamov.
