The Snail on the Hill - Science Fiction Classics Book Description "The Snail on the Hill is the most effective among the Strugatskys' strange and powerful medicines." –Jonathan Lethem I live in a world that someone invented and made up but did not bother to explain to me and maybe to himself. Arkadi and Boris Strugatsky are the only duo who deserve the title of "the greatest science fiction writers of the Soviet period" with their intellectually provocative, incredibly entertaining, brave and critical books. The Snail on the Hill is one of the lesser-known masterpieces of the Strugatsky brothers, but according to them, it is "the most perfect and most important of their works." Biber spends his days in the bureaucratic corridors of the Administration, which manages the forest below. Biber, a linguist, wishes to enter the forest, but this request is constantly rejected by the Administration. On the other hand, he is stuck in the Administration building because the car that was said to come "tomorrow" every day did not come and pick him up. All Biber can do is sit in the Administration at the top of the hillside and watch the forest. Candide is an Administration officer who survived a helicopter crash years ago. Adopted by the natives of the Forest, Candide lives a simple life among the natives. However, all Candide wants is to return to the Administration. Even though the locals warn him about the dangers of the forest, Candide makes plans to set out for the Administration on the hill "tomorrow" every night when he goes to bed. How well can a person know his environment? More importantly, can humans dominate nature? The Snail on the Hill is a dangerous journey between the present and the future.
