I love his work. Great short stories. A true master - Soviet SF or compared to any one else.

Kir Bulychev is a genius indeed, I just can't praise his talent enough. His books are so full of humanism and kindness. They always make me feel better and inspired. This book is not an exception.

Прослушала рассказ "Кладезь мудрости" в "Модели для сборки".

Imaginative. The author has a good feel for the kind of dialogue that goes with fantastic situations. The science fiction is of a fairly simple kind.

Uratować obcą cywilizację, zbawić ludzkość, zrealizować plan sprzedaży, załatwić materiały budowlane i wyskoczyć na wódkę tak, żeby żona nie zauważyła - życie w Wielkim Guslarze nie jest łatwe, a Kirył Bułyczow opisuje, jak dzielni guslarianie radzą sobie ze wszystkimi tymi wyzwaniami. Do autobusu w sam raz.
