Hard to Be a God by Arkady Strugatsky
5.0
I actually read another edition but I guess that my comment matters, as I discuss the story itself.
My, oh, my - this book is marvelous. I liked "Roadside Picnic" by Strugatsky when I read it a while back but this one is even more interesting. The book has somehow slow beginning but through the book it slowly starts to makes sense. The whole presentation of the human nature through its total antipodal projection (or actually a reflection of the reality) is presented in a way that I could not expect and enjoyed. Actually, I have thought for a while how great would it be if I can return with my knowledge to some centuries ago....now I know that it just would be hard to change something. History is what it is and the society is expected to change in pretty similar ways.
I would recommend this book to everyone!
