Time, back and other incredible stories. Kattner G.

Henry Kattner, published not only under his real name, but also under a good dozen pseudonyms, is considered one of the four or five leading American science fiction writers of the 1940s. The legendary genre magazines, such as Future, Thrilling Wonder, Planet Stories and Weird Tales, more than willingly accepted the works written by him independently or in co -authorship with his wife, the famous science fiction master and fantasy Katherine Lucille Moore; It happened that the whole release of the magazine was allocated for the work of Kattner. Almost everything created by this author has a shade of genius, but he especially succeeded in a “small literary form”: stories about the mutants of Hogbenes, about the eccentric inventor of Galleger and many others, flavored with inimitable humor, several generations of readers instilled a persistent love for science fiction.

Almost all the works included in this collection are published in Russian for the first time or in a new translation. Tales "God named Kru" and "Children's Hour" were awarded the Hugo Prize.
