Robert Sheckley (1928–2005) is the “sacred monster” of SF, whose name, along with the names of Asimov, Bradbury, Heinlein, Simak, is inscribed in the history of Anglo-American literature in golden letters. The author of two dozen novels and the same number of collections, he primarily became famous for his humorous and satirical works. In “The Walking of Joenis,” a Polynesian who decided to visit the country of his ancestors - America, experiences a number of truly surreal adventures, meets representatives of various social strata of the American society and even ends up in the USSR! A satirical pamphlet as much as a philosophical treatise and a picaresque novel, “The Walking of Joenis” ranks with the best novels of Kurt Vonnegut and is related to the works of Voltaire, Kafka and Jaroslav Hasek. The novel is being published in its entirety for the first time! In "Best Option," shipwrecked space merchant Tom Mishkin is forced to undergo ordeal to repair his ship and escape the fantastically absurd planet Harmony, where every question has at least a dozen answers and nothing is what it seems.
