Valery Iolievich Yazvitsky’s works were very popular in the early 20th century.
He wrote plays, historical novels, and poems. However, a special place in the writer’s creative output was occupied by science-fiction works that incorporate elements of popular science. These is what brought him popularity and love from readers. This audio book includes two of the author’s stories: “The John Inglis Apparatus,” which tells about a device that removes the force of friction. And “The Keeper of Life,” describing a scientist’s experiment freezing and then “reviving” living organisms.
