MediaDB / «Slaughterhouse-Five, or the Children's Crusade" Kurt Vonnegut: download fb2, read online
About the book: 1989 / Do you want to imagine yourself in the place of Billy Pilgrim, who goes to bed as an elderly widower and wakes up on his wedding day; enters the door in 1955 and leaves it in 1941; returns through the same door and finds himself in 1963; Has he seen both his birth and his death many times, and every now and then he ends up in the events of his life that he has already lived between birth and death? There is nothing simpler: you just need to learn from the Tralfamadorians, who occasionally visit the Earth on their flying saucers, to see in four (and not in three, like sapiens) dimensions, and then you will understand that moments of time do not follow one after another, like beads on thread, but existed and will exist together in the same place. One piece of advice for you: when wandering through time, choose doors so as not to accidentally end up in Slaughterhouse Number Five!
