Osada – Bulyčov Kir (2023)

In the grip of an inhuman world, the hardest thing is to remain human ***** In the middle of the forest hides a small cluster of huts. People live in them – or rather, they survive, as the surrounding world of moving trees and nightmarish creatures is a cruel and hostile place, where a human is merely a tolerated, unwelcome guest. Doom lurks here in a thousand different forms, and every single step can bring madness or death. ***** The inhabitants of the settlement fight day by day for survival and to preserve their human dignity. They dream of penetrating to the distant north, where perhaps hope for salvation lies. However, the journey to it is long and arduous. It leads through wilderness full of predatory beasts and snow-covered mountains with only one passable pass. Nevertheless, at the beginning of each summer, which is a rarity in this world, people set out on the journey. Until now, all expeditions have ended in failure, but now a new generation, young people who grew up in the settlement and know only stories of the times before its establishment, embarks on the harrowing pilgrimage for the first time... ***** Today, a classic work of Russian sci-fi finally reaches Czech readers in its complete and final form.
