PROFESSOR DOWELLS HEAD

About the Series

In the Soviet Union, as in the U.S A., the fascination with the possibilities of science and technology has led to a rich and long tradition of science fiction. Macmillan s BEST OF SON/IET SCIENCE FICTION is now presenting the major works in lively. readable translations. allowing the American reader to ex-plore—for the f'rst time—the wide rangę of visions of space. time and man's futurę in the other major sf tradition.

"What emerges from reading these books is a sense of human life as it is lived now coming to grips with the futurę and with the fantastic. The authors do not treat their materials as a gamę to be played. The works are filled with observations of ordinary life. with knowing and feeling; the works satisfy in a

way most science fiction does not^
