“Monday Starts on Saturday” is a book where fairy tale and reality are fantastically intertwined, where familiar images and heroes are placed in completely non-fairy-tale conditions—often looking comical and making you smile. NIICHAVO is not an ordinary research institute; it is a realm of magic and a testing ground for the authors’ imagination. There work unusual employees who love their job and don’t rush home. They don’t need Sundays and holidays because their work is full of optimism.
This attitude toward work brings to mind faith in a bright future that is just about to arrive…
The Strugatsky brothers’ work can be appreciated properly if you understand and know the realities of the past era. The rehabilitated vrykolakas Alfred—such a definition couldn’t have been unfamiliar in the 60s.
However, the book also reflects moments that remain relevant for our country today. For example, bureaucracy that deserves desperate ridicule, or the creation of the future person, which is still the goal of a number of scientists.
In this magical research institute, everyone can find a department they like: the Department of the Meaning of Life, Eternal Youth, or Absolute Knowledge…
