Hard to Be a God

Is it a mistake to fight evil with the methods of good? What are the boundaries of non-interference in relation to someone else's freedom? Is it possible to successfully pretend to be "one of them" on the dark side and not become one?

«Hard to Be a God» is both science fiction, an adventure novel, and a harsh, hopeless parable about the impotence of the all-powerful.

A story about a civilization stuck in a bloody Middle Ages, and about an enlightened person from the future, who has been given the torturous role of an observer.
