Arkady, right, and Boris
granted the innocence of which I said, it remains a strong history of philosophical influences on human nature. The three main characters are still rigid and lacking a real

on the planet, renamed in honor of Saul mysterious co-star, they discover a humanoid civilization whose social organization is the level of an ignorant and brutal feudalism. Anton Vadim and made from the earth in a few centuries, now at peace: a land of utopia, happiness achieved and realized aspirations. Saul, you will find, from "our" assorted human devastation of the twentieth century. The utopian happiness from which Anton Vadim and is almost certainly a socialist utopia, but since this novel you can see
Strugatskij the critical position that will develop with regard to official development unstoppable vision of human progress under the wing of socialism: the strong elements of satire in their works from the late 60s they will not be well seen, and hence the thinning of their production and further deepen their reflection
. Faced with the situation of the inhabitants of the planet, and Anton Vadim react differently, but united by a crucial, their personal history, their membership (membership ideological "?) utopia makes them unable to understand the real situation. And above all well-intentioned interventionism Vadim looks like a wave of illusion, stupidity and total lack of understanding. The tension of philanthropic Strugatskij not close its eyes to evidence of the human condition, and acknowledges the difficulties of social progress and the dangers of ignorance - ignorance of the profound social and psychological mechanisms of human social organizations. But even the man from our own time and therefore aware of these mechanisms, Saul, can offer answers. Can make in reality only the conscience, or rather the belief that history must run its course and can not be forced, but for this to end gonna fall apart, or more precisely have an explosion of uncontrolled fury: her " attempt to escape "from the bloody past will be resolved in the meeting with this as a bloodthirsty, and will result in the decision to go back. Who knows, perhaps to follow the story run its course. For, as saying It 's a pity, a pity that we can not be removed with one stroke all the stupidity and cruelty, without destroying the man : an evolutionary and not revolutionary concept, which Saul put in place after going to pieces at the moment, returning to his own time to help put their brick along the arduous road for the elimination of stupidity and cruelty. In their schematic, Saul, and Vadim have Anton as I said the flashes of authenticity: the two authors are far from the Russian literary tradition of fasting and will clearly show in the following years, the novel has a quiet pace unknown to Anglo-Saxon fiction, but the realism with which Strugatskij describe the "banality" of the miserable condition as spiritual leaders, the people of Saul knows how to excite, not least to reflect who fails to address the most superficial reading.

The novel was published in 1988 in the series Albatros Publishers
Treatment Centers - along with a more recent novel Russian brothers,
The hive beetle in , which gives the title to the volume - in a translation
more updated than the first Italian publication, 1966,
the first issue of "Soviet Science Fiction" in the title Escape
future. The title of the second edition, however, is more subtly centrato e
rende giustizia al contenuto del romanzo.
