| Publisher Description: Pered vami odno iz samykh masshtabnykh poloten za vsyu istoriyu mirovoy nauchnoy fantastiki - prakticheski, ne imeyushchaya analogov v literature, zhestkaya realistichnaya kartina konfrontatsii cheloveka s nevedomym i nepoznannym. Itak: krakh starogo mira, opustevshie ulitsy evropeyskikh gorodov i zhutkiy voy sireny nad ruinami. Tolpy bezhentsev - eshche vchera mirnykh sytykh obyvateley. Tak chto zhe proizoshlo? K kontsu 19 veka bol'shinstvo astronomov vsey Zemli sklonyalis' k mneniyu, chto na Marse mogut sushchestvovat' ne bolee chem primitivnye formy zhizni, sama ideya vozmozhnogo vtorzheniya inoplanetnykh vidov predstavlyalas' ne bolee, chem dosuzhey vydumkoy. No, odnazhdy, na Marse byli zamecheny yarkie vspyshki i k Zemle ustremilis' potoki ognya, kotorye byli ne chem inym, kak kosmicheskimi kapsulami, natselennymi na territoriyu Britanii. Teper' zemlyanam predstoit na sobstvennoy shkure ubedit'sya v urovne razvitiya marsian. A Zemlya mozhet poluchit' nezavidnyy status kolonizirovannoy planety. Tip povestvovaniya romana neobychen dlya voennoy fantastiki. My vidim sobytiya ne glazami polkovodtsa, dvigayushchego strelochki na karte, i dazhe ne glazami soldata, znayushchego svoy manevr, a rasteryannym vzglyadom obychnogo cheloveka, broshennogo v samuyu gushchu. On vidit lish' obryvki sobytiy, a ne tseluyu kartinu, ne znaet, chto proiskhodit, kto pobezhdaet, gde liniya fronta, zhiv li eshche, nakonets, kto-nibud' iz ego rodnykh I vot eta-to fragmentarnost' sozdaet zhutkoe oshchushchenie dostovernosti, kak budto avtor ne pridumal svoyu knigu, a ulovil i zapisal smutnye obrazy, prishedshie iz gryadushchikh desyatiletiy, voplotil ikh v forme strashnoy skazki o kontse tsivilizatsii. Gerbert Uells so svoey Voynoy mirov nadolgo operedil vremya i stal zakonodatelem mody dlya tselogo plasta nauchno-fantasticheskikh romanov. Pri etom, v grude proizvedeniy na temu vtorzheniya chuzhikh on i spustya sotnyu let umudryaetsya ne teryat'sya i byt' kruche (da, imenno kruche) bol'shinstva sovremennykh podelok. Skhema inoplanetnogo vtorzheniya realistichna do zhuti. Avtor ne stesnyaetsya v pokaze mrachnykh i zhestokikh stsen: tut i zhutkaya davka begushchikh proch' iz obrechennogo Londona, i zapolnennye trupami ulitsy gorodov, i vynuzhdennaya rasprava nad svyashchennikom... veryashchie v to, chto mozhno otsidet'sya i udarit' - prosto naivnye duraki. Dni chelovecheskoy tsivilizatsii sochteny. I, glavnoe, o chem ne raz napominaet Uells v svoem romane - metody, kotorye ispol'zuyut marsiane dlya zakhvata Zemli ne stol' uzh beschelovechny. Naprotiv, oni okazyvayutsya uzhasayushche chelovecheskimi. Pokhod boevykh trenozhnikov na London nichem ne otlichaetsya ot soten kolonial'nykh pokhodov, predprinyatykh v svoe vremya zemlyanami i uzh kto-kto, a my, lyudi, ne mozhem obvinyat' marsian v chrezmernoy zhestokosti. Sami sdelany iz togo zhe testa. |
