Review

A marvellous, subtle, funny book -- Eric Korn - Sunday Times

A fantastic vision of extraordinary power, a difficult, demanding but rewarding work - The Times Literary Supplement

The Snail on the Slope may be the most dizzyingly concentrated dose of the Strugatskys' strange and powerful medicine -- Jonathan Letham

[Arkady and Boris Strugatsky] open windows in the mind and then fail to close them at all, so that, putting down one of their books, you feel a cold breeze still lifting the hairs on the back of your neck - New York Times

Approached as a meditation on the human inability to comprehend more than a very small part of the universe, this is a surprisingly satisfying, if often perplexing, work - Publisher's Weekly

Book Description

A science fiction masterpiece from the Russian greats, Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.
