Russian Science Fiction – Destination: Amaltheia (and Others)

We love this soft cover collection of early Russian Science Fiction. Translated by Leonid Kolesnikov and published by the Foreign Languages Publishing House Moscow in 1960.

Contains – The Astronaut by Valentina Zhuravlyova; Over the Abyss by Alexander Belayev; The Maxwell Equations by Anatoly Duieprov; The Valley of the Four Crosses by Igor Zabelin; The Golub-Yavan by Kirill Stanyukovich; Flying Flowers by Mikhail Vasilyev and Destination Amaltheia by Arkady and Boris Strugatisky.

Nice condition and we like the portraits and biography placed on a foldout front and back cover.

Interesting rare Russian Science Fiction
