Hogben
Хогбены и все-все-все
В богом забытой глуши живет-поживает развеселое семейство мутантов Хогбенов, вовсе не напрашивающихся на неприятности, но постоянно в них влипающих — как будто если у человека три ноги и способность пускать, когда хочется пить, дождичек прямо себе в рот, то он и не человек вовсе! А еще вам предстоят приятные встречи с роботом-зазнайкой, безумным изобретателем, механическими фуриями, несчастным пришельцем из космоса, принятым за американского туриста, и всеми-всеми-всеми героями необыкновенных рассказов великого фантаста.

About the author
Henry Kuttner
741 books208 followersHenry Kuttner was, alone and in collaboration with his wife, the great science fiction and fantasy writer C.L. Moore, one of the four or five most important writers of the 1940s, the writer whose work went furthest in its sociological and psychological insight to making science fiction a human as well as technological literature. He was an important influence upon every contemporary and every science fiction writer who succeeded him. In the early 1940s and under many pseudonyms, Kuttner and Moore published very widely through the range of the science fiction and fantasy pulp markets.
Their fantasy novels, all of them for the lower grade markets like Future, Thrilling Wonder, and Planet Stories, are forgotten now; their science fiction novels, Fury and Mutant, are however well regarded. There is no question but that Kuttner's talent lay primarily in the shorter form; Mutant is an amalgamation of five novelettes and Fury, his only true science fiction novel, is considered as secondary material. There are, however, 40 or 50 shorter works which are among the most significant achievements in the field and they remain consistently in print. The critic James Blish, quoting a passage from Mutant about the telepathic perception of the little blank, silvery minds of goldfish, noted that writing of this quality was not only rare in science fiction but rare throughout literature: "The Kuttners learned a few thing writing for the pulp magazines, however, that one doesn't learn reading Henry James."
In the early 1950s, Kuttner and Moore, both citing weariness with writing, even creative exhaustion, turned away from science fiction; both obtained undergraduate degrees in psychology from the University of Southern California and Henry Kuttner, enrolled in an MA program, planned to be a clinical psychologist. A few science fiction short stories and novelettes appeared (Humpty Dumpty finished the Baldy series in 1953). Those stories -- Home There Is No Returning, Home Is the Hunter, Two-Handed Engine, and Rite of Passage -- were at the highest level of Kuttner's work. He also published three mystery novels with Harper & Row (of which only the first is certainly his; the other two, apparently, were farmed out by Kuttner to other writers when he found himself incapable of finishing them).
Henry Kuttner died suddenly in his sleep, probably from a stroke, in February 1958; Catherine Moore remarried a physician and survived him by almost three decades but she never published again. She remained in touch with the science fiction community, however, and was Guest of Honor at the World Convention in Denver in 198l. She died of complications of Alzheimer's Disease in 1987.

These 5 stories were fun! Not what I was expecting at all. Mutant hillbillies??!! Lol. Highly recommended!

One of my favorite sci-fi books since childhood, written with great sense of humor and imagination.

I think that this is what should be called classic fantasy.

Today I finished reading a collection of stories by Henry Kuttner. I first discovered him in the early '90s thanks to my dad and the short story collection The Configurator – A Book for Laughter.
I still remember the stories about the Hogben family from that time. This time, the book did not disappoint—the Hogben stories are very funny. I particularly like Exit the Professor, Pile of Trouble, and See You Later. In addition, I’m delighted by The Proud Robot (about a hilarious robot), Mimsy Were the Borogoves (about a time machine and the fourth dimension), and Vintage Season (also about a time machine and our sinister descendants). The following stories are cool, with interesting endings, but in my opinion, they have a darker tone— Shock, Camouflage, and Absalom.
Overall, Kuttner is a writer of sinister science fiction. But that’s exactly what makes his work great—because it doesn’t sugarcoat anything. His style represents classic American science fiction. However, real science fiction is not just light entertainment, like The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy or Star Trek.
At times, it seemed to me that the ideas in these stories were no longer fresh, as they have been used in films countless times. But we have to remember that these stories are 70+ years old. They were written before the parents of many of today’s filmmakers were even born.
The stories Two-Handed Engine and Year Day are interesting, but they feel like one-time reads—something seems to be missing. The story Housing Problem, in my opinion, is not science fiction at all, but rather mysticism. In this regard, Kuttner is similar to Sheckley. I used to think that Sheckley was purely a science fiction writer. But now I see that he actually wrote dark mysticism with a touch of science fiction. However, Sheckley didn’t always incorporate sci-fi elements in his stories.
Сегодня закончил читать сборник рассказов Генри Каттнера. С ним я познакомился в начале 90-х благодаря моему папе и сборнику рассказов “Конфигуратор – книга для смеха“.
Еще с того времени помню рассказы о семействе Хогбенов. В этот раз книга не подвела — рассказы про Хогбенов очень смешные. Мне нравятся Прохфессор накрылся, Котел с неприятностями, До скорого!. Кроме того, я в восхищении от Робот-зазнайка (про ржачного робота), Все тенали бороговы (про машину времени и четвертое измерение), Лучшее время года (тоже про машину времени и наших зловещих потомков). Следующие рассказы прикольные, с интересным концом, но, по-моему, они зловещие — это Шок, Маскировка, Авессалом.
Вообще, по большому счету, Каттнер — это автор зловещей научной фантастики. Но этим она и хороша, потому что она без прикрас. Это классическая американская научная фантастика. Но настоящая фантастика — это не жвачка, как Автостопом по галактике или Звездный путь.
Иногда мне казалось, что идеи из рассказов уже не новы, они ведь уже сто раз были в разных фильмах. Но нужно помнить, что этим рассказам по 70 лет. Они написаны раньше, чем родились родители многих из авторов этих фильмов.
Рассказы Двурукая машина и День не в счет интересные, но на один раз. Чего-то в них не хватает. Рассказ Жилищный вопрос, по-моему, вообще не фантастика, а мистика. В принципе, Каттнер тут как Шекли. Это я раньше думал, что Шекли — писатель-фантаст. А сейчас я понимаю, что он писал чернушную мистику с примесью фантастики. Но примесь фантастики была у Шекли далеко не всегда.

I'm enchanted by the story of how this book was a real passion project for Neil Gaiman, Pierce Watters, and F. Paul Wilson. Probably more enchanted by them tracking down all the Hogben stories and collecting them in a single book than I am entirely in love with the stories themselves.
Henry Kuttner's five sci-fi stories about a family of magical nigh-immortal hillbillies are charming, for sure, but often a little too plot-driven to me. I wanted to like them, but I struggled to sink into the world. Perhaps that will change over time. My favorite of the bunch is probably "See You Later," where I felt the hijinks became about something more--specifically in terms of the resentment toward the entire world that the villain of the story displays. I really liked that one, but I think either I missed the boat on the others, or they lacked the philosophical underpinnings of "See You Later." Imagine Vonnegut at his zaniest without much depth. Or a redneck Douglas Adams.
I may read these again, though, and perhaps over time I'll see more in them than I do now. For now, I'd say this collection is amusing and creative, but it didn't entirely sweep me away. Feels a little first-draft-ish to me.

I had never read any of Henry Kuttner's Hogben tales. There are five of them, all published in pulp science fiction magazines in the 1940s. They are legendary and well worth seeking out. All but the first one, "The Old Army Game," are available in Kuttner collections, if you can find them. It was a real service when Borderlands Press gathered all the stories in The Hogben Chronicles in 2013. It's too bad the volume hasn't been reprinted and is out of print, with hefty prices in the secondary market. These mutant hillbilly shenanigans are quite funny and embrace a skewed, but practical family logic. The stories "Exit the Professor," "Pile of Trouble, "See You Later," and "Cold War" are gems of storytelling by a master of pulp fiction. All the stories, told from the viewpoint of Saunk, the youngin (except for the baby in the tank), relate various escapades keeping their family secrets while divulging family eccentricities and their long, long history. The Hogben Chronicles was edited by Pierce Watters and F. Paul Wilson, with an introduction by Neil Gaiman, an afterword by Wilson, and delightful woodblock print illustrations of each story by Cortney Skinner. If you can find a copy, get it.

Humor w książkach – tak czy nie?
Jeśli lubicie się pośmiać i bawią Was nieoczywiste historie z ukrytym przesłaniem, mam dla Was coś ekstra. Wszystko jest iluzją to drugi tom opowiadań mistrza SF Henry’ego Kuttnera.
W tej części znajdziemy historie wydane po raz pierwszy na polskim rynku, więc to nie lada gratka dla fanów gatunku. Mamy tu opis losów mieszkającej w Kentucky rodziny Hogbenów, której członkowie to pochodzący z Atlantydy mutanci. Potrafią zmieniać kody genetyczne, czytać w myślach, latać, a nawet stawać się niewidzialnymi, a jednak są bardziej ludzcy od samych ludzi. Przeczytamy tu także opowieść o wyprawie do świata gnomów i otrzymamy przestrogę przed ingerowaniem w sprawy magicznych istot. Pojawi się także Twonk – zbudowany przez podróżnika w czasie potężny robot atomowy, przypominający niepozorne radio.
Jest różnorodnie, a przede wszystkim śmiesznie. Ale pod humorem (często czarnym 😉) kryje się coś więcej. Autor był geniuszem. Choć tworzył w latach 40 i 50 XX wieku, przepowiedział wiele przyszłych odkryć, wydarzeń i procesów społecznych. Jego wyobraźnia zdawała się nie mieć granic i widać to w każdym z jego opowiadań, które wciąż zdają się być bardzo na czasie.
Polecam!

Wszystko jest i iluzją
Wszystko jest iluzją to kolejny zbiór opowiadań Henrego Kuttnera. Tym razem mamy opowiadania o rodzinie Hogbenów, czyli rodziny mutantów która przede wszystkim chce spokoju, niestety on się ich nie trzyma. Mamy również inne historie, w tym np. znajdziemy Twonka, gnomy i cztery opowiadania pierwszy raz przedstawione polskim czytelnikom.
Tak jak i poprzednie opowiadania, tak i te dały mi wiele uśmiechu. Twórczość Kuttnera jest wyśmienita. Science fiction w eleganckiej formie. W prawdzie od niedawna czytam science fiction, ale właśnie dzięki takim twórcom mam ochotę na więcej. Te krótkie historie mają w sobie coś magicznego jedocześnie będąc przyziemnymi. Ja osobiście świetnie bawiłam się czytając te opowiadania i kolejny raz jestem zachwycona humorem i wyobraźnią autor.

This is a great book that I read as a child and periodically re-read every couple of years. Hogben stories are just classics of humorous fiction. Every time I open the pages of this book, I again plunge into this exciting world. Despite the fact that they were written decades ago, laughing at the constant pursuit of man for power, wealth and recognition remains just as relevant and funny today. This proves that human psychology changes slowly and many things stay the same over time.

Самих Хогбенов тут - раз, два и обчёлся... Не спорю, остальные рассказы тоже по-своему уникальны и интересны, но вот формировать сборник под вывеской, отражающей менее 20% сути, как-то неинтересно.
П.С. Да, енотов жалко...

Z jaką mocą świeci aureola i parę innych przerwotnych tematów. Roboty rządzące światem, mutanci ukrywający się na amerkańskiej wsi itp. Żadnych dłużyzn. Może tylko za dużo opowiadań o Hogbenach - tak już na granicy zmęczenia dobrym dowcipem.

Приятно встретить сборник больших грелочных рассказов, толковая такая классика фантастики. Хогбены - лишь крошечная часть этого отличного сборника
November 12, 2022
В кои-то веки прочитала в оригинале и, конечно, это изумительная игра с языком) Ну и в целом думаю еще Каттнера почитать, хороший он, судя по всему)

This book was just delightful. Admittedly, I bought it because Neil Gaiman told me too and that's just how I roll, but he did not steer me wrong.
The stories collected here all center around a family of radioactive mutant hillbillies attempting to bide their time in peace and quiet until humanity evolves/dies out/is ready for their plans. While they were written in the forties, they really don't seem that dated with the exception of the Nazi spies in the first story. Saunk Hogben, our narrator, is charmingly simple with infinite knowledge, and that combination is positively delightful. I know I used that word already; it's the best word to describe this book.
I'm very glad the founders of this kickstarter were able to revive these stories from the depths of old pulp magazines. They take hardly any time to read, so I strongly suggest you give the Hogbens a chance.

A fun collection of 5 SF short stories about a seemingly backward hillbilly family who are actually a clan that possesses extraordinary powers and long lives.
The stories are like a mash of Ma and Pa Kettle movies mixed with the X-Men. In the foreword Neil Gaiman credits these stories as providing the seeds for his latest book - The Ocean At The End Of The Lane. It also reminded me of a humorous predecessor to Zenna Henderson's - The People.
Old time SF which brought a smile to this not so young anymore SF fan.

Payed for this through Kickstarter because Neil Gaiman said it was good. He is a liar. Horrible. I am sure it means something to him because he read it as a kid and it touched his heart. It touched me somewhere else. Reminds me of Mason & Dixon by Pynchon because of the dialect. Blech! On to the next...

This is a collection of goofy stories by science fiction master Henry Kuttner, about a family of mutant hillbillies who originally came from Atlantis but now live in rural Kentucky. Wonderfully weird stories originally published in pulp magazines in the 1940s and collected here in one book for the first time. Great, fun stuff!
March 15, 2015
These short stories are related by characters but are independent of each other. They are all humorous with insight to human character. They are all written in american hillbilly dialect which I wouldn't expect to work but he is so skillful that I found myself looking forward to meeting the characters with each new story. It's too bad he didn't write more.
January 19, 2016
F. Paul Wilson did a wonderful job collecting these stories! It was a light-hearted and fun collection, and Kuttner's use of diction is impeccable and necessary. I am new to science fiction, but feel confident I will continue to enjoy the genre if the Hogben stories are any indication.
January 17, 2016
The Hogbens are great. Clever explanations for mutant capabilities, and, after all, if you were a long-lived mutant, wouldn't you want to hide out in the boonies too? And wouldn't there be some interesting stories about people in the "real" world interacting with you?

Fun little book, but I wasn't blown away.
June 17, 2016
Fantastic stuff, literally. I first read these in 1987 in a great Russian translation which was better than the original in some ways, but the original is great, too. LOL stuff.
