About the book: 2015 / His novels, stories and short stories have long become true science fiction classics, regardless of what language the world reader reads them in. Interesting, smart and funny - these are the three mighty whales on which the island called “Robert Sheckley” rests in the ocean of literature. And any reader who discovers this island will return to it again and again, because it is impossible not to return to where a piece of your heart remains. Some of the works included in the collection are either newly translated (“Ticket to Planet Tranai”), or published in a mass printed publication for the first time (“Castle of the Skaggs”»).
