Vull fer un agraïment als meus companys del club per haver acordat llegir aquest llibre i permetre'm recordar per què vaig valorar-lo d'aquesta manera. Els germans Strugatski són, de forma absoluta, els meus reputíssims pares, i aquest llibre és top-tier.

Club de lectura 4?
És fantàsia de young adults rollo jocs de la fam però comunista i escrit decades abans que es posés de moda el gènere. Amb un 10% de les pàgines que tenen aquestes sagues aconsegueix construïr un univers igual d'interessant i tenir una trama igual d'enganxosa amb tota la èpica, metàfores polítiques evidents i estètica revolucionària que la resta de sagues

Lord Rumata is an imposter. He is actually a man from a faraway planet called Earth, sent to study a feudal society. Along with a few others from Earth he tries to nudge this planet out of the depravity of it's dark ages. Being from the paradisaical Earth, he finds that he is unprepared for the harsh and violent reality of a medieval planet. Reading about it is not the same as living it.

I found the prose difficult to follow at times. The third person narrative sometimes jumps unexpectedly into the first person thoughts of Rumata. I'm not sure if this the author's style or a bad translation from Russian.
