The Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin. Aelita

The fantastic novels “The Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin” and “Aelita” raise a very important question about the responsibility of a scientist for their discoveries towards humanity and the responsibility of a revolutionary for social transformations towards the surrounding people and society. «The enormous, passionate, mocking, historically and existentially rich, colorful world of Tolstoy is a gift to anyone who loves and feels alive literature and the Russian language» – writes Sergey Shargunov in the introductory article to this edition of A. N. Tolstoy.
