About this book

Uno de los grandes exponentes literarios de la ciencia ficción rusa.El hiperboloide del ingeniero Garin es una de las obras más reconocidas de la ciencia ficción rusa, y su autor, Alexéi Tolstói, uno de sus máximos representantes. En ella se relata el perverso plan de P. P. Garin, un ingeniero que ambiciona dominar el mundo gracias a uno de sus inventos, un rayo superdestructor capaz de aniquilar cualquier objetivo que se proponga: el "hiperboloide". En las aspiraciones por poner bajo su control los cinco continentes, Tolstoi refleja el temido triunfo del fascismo y anticipa el choque del capitalismo y el comunismo, así como la crisis que vivirá Europa tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Y para ello pone en juego, junto al histriónico Garin, a unos personajes que rozan lo caricaturesco y, a menudo, lo absurdo: la atractiva Zoia Monroz; Rolling, un magnate americano de la industria química, y un inspector soviético llamado Shelgá. Ambientada en los años posteriores a la Gran Guerra, esta obra ofrece una lectura donde el género policiaco y la ciencia ficción se entremezclan con grandes dosis de humor y de ironía.
