The compilers of the collection “Lalangamena”… set themselves the task of bringing together under one roof works of different kinds and different characters, but united by an equally passionate defense of those simple rules of human coexistence without which no society can exist—and of those purely human traits through which people overcome evil.
The collection is made up of works by English-language fantasists.
It was published in 1985 and reissued in 1988.
One of the best anthologies of English-language science fiction from Soviet times.
