Often people get bored with everyday life. Everything is gray, boring, and there is not a drop of magic. And then fiction comes to the rescue. The works of this genre have completely different worlds, there are different laws and rules, there are strange creatures and people with special abilities. However, what exactly is worthy of the title "best fiction"? Books that can take you to another reality with an exciting plot and living syllable. In this article you will learn about some works that fit this description.
The best fiction. Books worthy of your attentionSince we live in Russia, it would be logical to start our list with domestic works. The Strugatsky’s “Roadside Picnic” is rightfully considered one of the best works (not only in our country, but also abroad) in the genre of science fiction. The best books of the whole world can not be compared with the magnificent story that takes the reader to the Zone (the place where the main character is looking for artifacts), introduces us to the stalker Redrick Shuhart, tells about his life and fate.
It is important to say about another Russian science fiction writer. Many of us watched the amazing movie Amphibian Man. But not everyone knows that he was shot on the work of the same name by Alexander Belyaev. Book lovers, however, immensely appreciate this writer. His other book - “The Head of Professor Dowell” - is also quite famous and, undoubtedly, is worthy of your attention. Not only intrigues with science fiction are intertwined in it, but various kinds of thoughts and ideas that condemn human greed and ambition are also traced.
The next work, which has become one of the symbols of world fiction, is “Solaris” by Stanislav Lem. Written back in 1961, the novel still has not lost its relevance, quite the contrary. Because the writer was able to predict the main problem of our time (the dominance of technological progress over the moral principles of society), his work can be safely added to the list under the title “Best Fantasy”. Books of this kind are not only entertaining in nature, but also teach to think, analyze.
Among the works of this genre, one can distinguish the works of Ray Bradbury. The Martian Chronicles and 451 degrees Fahrenheit are some of the things to read for those who need the best science fiction. These books will tell you incredible stories. The first is about life on Mars (here, of course, there are allusions to our reality with you), and the second is about a society in which you are not allowed to read.
Of course, it is worth mentioning the writer Herbert Wells. His novels War of the Worlds, Time Machine, and The Invisible Man are undoubtedly the best fiction. The books tell, for example, that besides our reality there are others, that it turns out that one can travel through epochs or, even better, dissolve in the air!
At the origins of the genre was the notorious Howard Phillips Lovecraft. His works “The Ridges of Madness” and “Call of Cthulhu” can be confidently placed in first place on a slightly different list - “The Best Space Fiction”. Books of this genre are, of course, very popular these days, however, in the 20-30s of the last century, they turned the minds of people around the world.
Now you know about which works you should familiarize yourself with if you want to travel to other worlds.
