Neither Arkadii nor Boris Strugatskii had originally intended to
make a living in writing. Arkadii dreamed of becoming an
astronomer, but his wartime experience and training led him to work
as a translator and editor of Japanese literature. Boris intended
to become a physicist, trained as an astronomer, and ended up as a
computer specialist at Pulkovo Observatory. This common thread of
astronomy turns out to be fantastically important for understanding
their works, as their most important ones are experiments in
cosmology, and their shared expertise is instrumental in their
construction of literary hellscapes. This book explores how the
Strugatskiis' cosmological explorations are among the most
fundamental elements of their art. It examines also how these
explorations connect to their predecessors in the Russian literary
tradition-particularly to the poetry of Pushkin.
