Imagine a galaxy filled with people like us. But the strange thing is, they settled in different corners. In one corner live military blockheads, in another there are swindlers, thieves and corrupt officials, in the third there are merchants. And between them gypsies scurry about in their space wagons. How many angles are there in total? Why are the characters in the book so similar to earthlings? And where did the earthly system of weights and measures come from? This funny book will answer all your questions. And if not all, then the following books will continue the story told. I warn you: no one wants to cry!
