The story “The Legend of Happiness” is included in the collection “Sensation on Mars.”

A summary of the work (opening the spoiler - you only have yourself to blame!) “The Legend of Happiness” (The Legend of Happiness, 1971 ) Vasily Berezhny is not exactly a fantastic story. It tells the story of how one frantic scholar worked for a long time to translate an ancient Sumerian text, which he called “the legend of happiness.” During this time, his wife left him, more enemies and enemies, but the scientist was unshakable. This job was his happiness. And the ancient manuscript spoke of a shepherd who set out to find the Land of Happiness. He walked for a very long time to the west. Along the way he did a lot of good things and accomplished several feats. He never understood that his life itself was happiness, and not a goal that he never achieved.
