Ivan Yefremov (1907-1972) was a well-known Soviet scientist, a
professor of paleontology and a talented writer of science fiction.
"No writer did as much as Yefremov for science," wrote one reader,
"and no scientist did as much as Yefremov for literature."
Andromeda is a novel about the future of mankind. It depicts with
truly fantastic scope the unparalleled bloom of science and
technology and the rise of a new social order, and portrays the
Universe in the so-called Era of the Great Circle, when Earth will
have constant communication with space. Written in 1956, on the eve
of the first attempts at space exploration - when the word
"cosmonaut" still belonged exclusively to the domain of science
fiction - the novel has long since become widely known throughout
the world. It is symbolic that, on the day of the launching of the
first Earth satellite, readers congratulated Yefremov on the
dawning of the Era of the Great Circle.
