Description
The Second Invasion from Mars was written at a time when the Strugatskys, gradually moving away from traditional science fiction, were experimenting extensively with genres and themes. This satirical novella, in which Martians take from people not blood, as in H. G. Wells, but gastric juice, is sparklingly funny in form and very sad in essence. Back then, it seemed to be about some conventional, alien world, but today we increasingly recognize our acquaintances in the heroes with ancient Greek names, and in the events described—the features of today’s real life. Nor can one argue with the novella’s main idea: it does not befit a human being to be an obedient sheep waiting for its fate.
