GALAPAGOS A small island of the Galapagos archipelago became a refuge for people who miraculously survived a global catastrophe. Only a few survived – and unfortunately, they are not the best representatives of humanity... BLUE BEARD One of the most whimsical and mysterious novels by Kurt Vonnegut, in which he plays not only with the mythology of 20th-century art but also with archetypes of war prose and themes of ancient Greek mythology. The autobiography of the fictional artist Rabo Karabekian, whose career was ruined due to poor-quality paint, and the story of the mysterious Circe Berman, who tries to change not only his life but also his views on art and his place in it, serve merely as a framework for a parable that interprets the well-known plot of the creator, his Muse, and the search for Inspiration in a new way.
