An academy, a school, a college of magic is not surprising. The Strugatskys immediately move to the next level. “Monday begins on Saturday” is about those who have already learned, who have already mastered spells and magic formulas, and are engaged in the real business - sorcery and magic. There is a myth that the Strugatsky books are for the very smart or for those who remember the USSR well .Intelligence is needed. It would be strange if not. But, if there are books that are read overnight, and you’ve just started, and it’s already ending, and how good it is that there are more... This is about the books of the Strugatskys. This is about “Monday Begins on Saturday.” A novel about wizards, who live from paycheck to paycheck. Books are not born in a vacuum. A writer depends on time and often on censorship. But this edition is adapted and commented. Nothing will stop you from enjoying reading. “Monday begins on Saturday” is a direct text.
