Space aliens began to appear in the city since 1967. Since that time, the classic of domestic fiction Kir Bulychev (1934-2003) began to chronicle the Great Guslyar - a small town located somewhere "between Arkhangelsk, Ustyug and Vologda" .. The Great Guslyar easily got along with aliens, we can say, coped with them, how easily the Russian province copes with all sorts of clever people and progressors. The reliability of the stories of Kir Bulycheva is not in doubt among everyone who read Saltykov-Shchedrin, Platonov, Shekli and Kattner .. And those who have not read such things, who consider a primitive shooter a dashing plot and do not know creatures more original than a vampire, will open up a large world of real fiction in the annals of the Great Guslyar intelligent, fascinating, inventive, sarcastic and very funny. This book includes stories and stories about the Great Guslyar, written in the last years of the author's life, from 1996 to 2003, as well as previously unpublished works found in the writer's archive.
