Description
The novel “The Lord of the Air” was written in 1928, when A. R. Belyaev and his family lived for a short time in Leningrad. First published in 1929 in the Moscow journal “Around the World.” Since then, the novel has been reissued many times. In 1967, the novel was adapted into a film—an eponymous two-part TV movie made by the Odessa Film Studio (director V. Ryabtsev) with E. Zharikov, P. Kadochnikov, G. Nilov, G. Strizhenov, and V. Titova in the leading roles.
In form, it is a typical “spy” adventure and science-fiction novel of those years about a conspiracy of world capital against humanity. However, thanks to a skillfully constructed intrigue, a dynamic plot, and non-trivial scientific ideas, the novel has not lost any of its appeal for today’s readers.
The action takes place in Yakutia, in the region of the cold pole. The narration is told by meteorologist Klimenko. Air currents across the entire globe suddenly begin to deviate from their usual routes toward a certain point in the vastness of Yakutia, and atmospheric pressure drops slightly. The head of the research expedition, Grigoriy Klimenko, and his companions find a giant plant for air liquefaction hidden in the crater of an extinct volcano—built by a brilliant scientist who intended to blackmail the governments of all countries. If he is not stopped, the world will perish…
“The Master of the World” is Alexander Belyaev’s fantastic novel published in 1926. The novel is devoted to the problem of transmitting thoughts over a distance, which the author had always been interested in.
