“The Tale of Stupid Galileo” is a new collection of feuilletons, poems, plays and fairy tales by the magnificent master of dystopia and allegory Vladimir Voinovich. Sharp language and precise images, ironic ridicule of human vices and the eternal “woes of Russia” make the book polyphonic and bright. There is a place for both laughter and a philosophical parable. The author of the immortal Chonkin sees so much humor and brightness in the ordinary that it is impossible not to laugh heartily!
