4.0 out of 5 stars Sci-fi Russian style, November 14, 2006

By 

John Webber - See all my reviews

This review is from: Aelita (Hardcover)

This is the son of the famous Leo Tolstoy (War & Peace, Anna Karenina etc.) making his own bid for fame with what is claimed to be the first Russian sci-fi novel. This makes it a bit of a collector's item in itself, though the story is good, well written and illustrated, though the style may be a little alien (forgive the pun) to those not familiar with Russian prose.

3.0 out of 5 stars You Might want to know..., December 10, 1999

This review is from: Aelita (Hardcover)

This book is in Russian. fair enough, since that was the language it was originally written in. If you don't read Russian, you may be as dissapointed as I was when I got it in the mail. I was interested in the book having seen the wonderful Russian constructivist film of the same name that was made in 1923.
