For the first time in Russian! A collection of stories by the cult French writer, author of the world bestsellers “Empire of Angels”, “Breath of the Gods”, “Day of the Ant”. “Every day a new idea is born in my head. Then it begins to develop and haunt me relentlessly. As a rule, the starting point is one a simple phrase: “What will happen if...” For example: “What will happen if people begin to reproduce their own kind the way flowers do?”, “What will happen if people are forced to forget the past?”, “What will happen if if only women remain on Earth? These stories are the germs of stories from which I may later be able to grow into novels, and those stories that I will try to give a visible image to by turning them into films.”
