First trade paperback edition. published by Collier Book, 1980. The first English translation trade paperback edition. The hardcover edition being published in 1979 by Macmillan. From the authors of 'Roadside Picnic', the story of the residents of an unnamed town, ruled by an Orwellian figure known as 'Mr. President'. Two years of unceasing rain has turned the children of the town into a kind of advanced form of humanity. 234 pages, 5-1/2" X 8-1/4", perfect bound trade paperback. This is the edition with cover art by Richard Powers. No creases to the cover or spine. No former ownership marks. The edges of the text block have some age tanning dots, and a couple of bump marks on the bottom edge, a couple of small pen marks on the fore edge - both about 1/4" long - photos attached. Would appear to be marks from where someone dropped a pen on the book. Binding is tight and square. This is not a library discard, not a remainder copy. This is the original English translation, by Alice Stone Akhimovsky and Alexander Akhimovsky. This book was republished recently, with a new English translation, in a somewhat format with their 'Lame Fate' included as a 'nested novel'. The attached photos are of the copy we have in our inventory.

The Ugly Swans by brothers Strugatsky is the most prophetic and profound book which predicted the transformation of humanity we observe now. The humanity mutates into something new. The action takes place in an uncertain mildly-authoritarian country, in an unnamed town. Famous writer Victor Banev comes from the capital to the town of his childhood where the rain never stops. Banev finds himself in the middle of strange events linked to "slimies" or "four-eyes" - strange people suffering from disfiguring "yellow leprosy" manifesting itself as yellow circles around the eyes. These slimies live in a separate colony. The town's adult population is terrified by their existence, considering them to be the cause of all the bad and odd things in the town. Nevertheless, the town's teenagers simply adore slimies, that including Banev's daughter Irma. Science fiction readers weary of the repetitive taste of American SF shoud discover books like the Ugly Swans with appreciation and pleasure. Highly recommended!
