The first British appearance of the Strugatsky brothers' novel of a far future observer on a planet based on medieval Earth and his crisis of scientific objectivity when confronted with what he finds. It was twice adapted for film, in 1989 starring Werner Herzog and more recently as Aleksei German's final film.
