Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (1979) ‘Far Rainbow/ The Second Invasion from Mars‘, US first edition, first printing, published by Macmillan. Signed by both authors on the title page.

Condition: a near fine copy with only a hint of shelf wear and a few very faint foxing spots to page block edges. The dust jacket is price clipped and otherwise nice.

The Strugatsky brothers were the most celebrated sci-fi writers of the late Soviet era. In the West they became famous via Stalker, the Tarkovsky film adaptation of their novel Roadside Picnic. Often philosophical, speculative with moral implications such as Hard to be a God. Any signed copies of their translated work is scarce.
