Nagan-4
Auto-translated
It's nice to meet fellow fans of good fantasy. I like the following books; at least, I haven't found anything better.
1. Isaac Asimov – the first three parts of the "Foundation" cycle. They are usually published as one book.
2. Roger Zelazny. His works heavily depend on the translator; a talentless translator can ruin the book. Perhaps the best are "Lord of Light," "Jack of Shadows," "This Immortal," "Night in October," "Island of the Dead," and possibly the first part of "The Chronicles of Amber."
3. Glen Cook – "The Black Company." I've only read the first 9 parts so far, as well as "Raid," "The Dragon Never Sleeps," and "Sweet Silver Blues."
4. Fred Saberhagen: the "Berserker" cycle.
5. Dan Simmons: "Hyperion." The sequel, "Endymion," is a bit weaker.
6. Harry Turtledove: "The Toxic Waste Dump."
7. Philip José Farmer: "The Riverworld."
I recommend these books – I don't think you'll regret it. They will be interesting for fans of both action-packed stories and serious fantasy and style.
I am very disappointed with modern Russian fantasy. Those who are promoted and whose works are adapted into films – they kill faith in fantasy and in intelligent humanity.
I don't think everything is so bad; I liked, for example:
A. Boryansky: "Gnaeus Gildenhom Arthur Green."
V. Zvyagintsev: "Local Battles."
A. Gromov: "Soft Landing," "Minuet of Saint Vitus."
