Narration To Books The Snail on the Slope

The Snail on the Slope takes place in two worlds. One is the Administration, an institution run by a surreal, Kafkaesque bureaucracy whose aim is to govern the forest below. The other is the Forest, a place of fear, weird creatures, primitive people and violence. Peretz, who works at the Administration, wants to visit the Forest. Candide crashed in the Forest years ago and wants to return to the Administration. Their journeys are surprising and strange, and readers are left to puzzle out the mysteries of these foreign environments. The Strugatskys themselves called The Snail on the Slope “the most perfect and the most valuable of our works.”

Critique About Books The Snail on the Slope
Review updated on August 5, 2019.This is the book that cemented Strugatsky brothers status as classics of world science fiction and also the status of the best Soviet science fiction writers in Russian language. It is also the book that brought lots of troubles to its authors from the Soviet powers: Soviet bureaucrats understood their satirical description and it really hurt them. It was aimed to.First of all I need to mention that this is not similar to better-known Roadside Picnic in any

Personally I enjoyed book a lot. Despite really hard understanding of what's going on in the beginning, after you've managed to get through some part of it, you start caring more about the form of storytelling and about some really philosophical thoughts instead of trying to put together the bigger picture. That is something new to me, however till the end of book I felt like I got more than gave. A lot of parts of book went to quotes and notes, there was just so much truth in them! I don't

This is an English translation of a classic by Russian sci-fi writers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. Now I need to read more of their stuff, because this one is brilliant. The writers were raised in the Soviet Union, and the story is a serious, thorough critique of that era, hidden cleverly in science fiction metaphor. It's about the Administration, an overwhelming bureaucracy, and one poor dude who longs to escape it into The Forest. It's thoughtful, and leaves the reader with good stuff to chew

I love the Strugatsky brothers. They have a way with words, a way with characters, and their stories are never remakes of the Marvel universe. They're just brilliant all over (yes, their butts too). But this particular nut was just a little too hard for this particular skull, at this particular meeting of skull and nut. No. I'm misunderstanding myself. It's rather that the squirrel of motivation is already too sated to spend its twilight years honing the sledgehammer of hunger into the nano

Dropped after fifty pages. Reads awful, like it was machine translated.

This is a book about a forest - an immense, unexplored, unconquered biome that an organization called the Directorate is attempting to penetrate, research, guard, and eradicate simultaneously. The story alternates between the viewpoints of two characters: Pepper, who is obsessed with entering the forest, and Kandid, who is trying to get out of it.The Directorate is a dystopian organization that gets darker and more surreal as Pepper becomes more and more tangled in its bureaucracy, but never

Incredible -- one of the most enigmatic books I've ever read yet one of the most compelling. A thoroughly unique, symbolism-heavy, mystifying page-turner. I've never read anything quite like it, even from these brilliant authors.
