The novel "Magellan’s Cloud" is, in the strict sense of the word, neither science fiction nor an adventure story. It is a philosophical work, a utopia. It is devoted to the communist future of humankind.
At the center of the events described in the novel is the flight of the first stellar expedition of humanity to the constellation of Centaurus on a giant spacecraft symbolically named “Gaia.”
Another title: The Cloud of Magellan.
