A strange city where it ALWAYS rains. Only children like the rain, and only at a certain age. There are NO children OLDER than that age in the city. They simply disappear. There are also some sick people in the city (rumor calls them "wet ones") with whom these children communicate. The main character, a writer, is "exiled to his homeland" by the President... he tries to UNDERSTAND what is happening in the city... It's a great story... I forgot the title... Damn.

Yes... it's by the Strugatsky brothers - it was previously published separately as the novella "The Hideous Swans," and now it's part of the novel "The Limping Fate"... it's a funny story :rolleyes:

Oh! Thanks! "Lame Destiny," definitely!
As far as I know, "Ugly Swans" wasn't released separately... or was it?

"Nasty Swans," as far as I know, wasn't published separately... or was it?

I have a very old book... it was first published in 1967... then the story was included in a collection - I don't know why... I just like the title... that's why I remember it better... ;)

There is definitely a separate edition of "Ugly Swans"! I have the book right now – it contains "A Billion Years Before the End of the World," the aforementioned "Ugly Swans," and something else... I don't remember what – because I haven't gotten to it yet... :o I've only started reading "A Billion Years..." – and even that, unfortunately, I don't have time for yet...
Если тебе не везёт в жизни, - играй в какую-нибудь другую игру:rolleyes:
Лидер клана "Из многих единое"

Приключения – это сплошные неприятности, только про них почему-то потом интересно вспоминать...
