“Stories about warriors have been told by people ever since they started telling stories . at all. Ever since Homer sang the wrath of Achilles, and the ancient Sumerians told us about Gilgamesh, warriors, soldiers, and heroes have always captured our imagination. They are part of any culture, any literary tradition, any genre. The authors of the stories included in this collection are well-known writers, best-selling creators and laureates of many awards, published in many publishing houses and writing in different genres. We asked each of them to write a story about a warrior. Some have chosen the genre in which their most famous works are written. Others decided to try something new . In these pages you will find warriors of all kinds, sizes and colors, warriors of all eras of human history, yesterday, today, tomorrow, and warriors from worlds that never existed. Some of these stories are sad, some are funny, many are exciting.” In the collection for the first time in Russian published a story from the series "The Song of Ice and Fire"!
