I suggest Picnic a good starting point because it's arguably the Strugatsky's best known novel and a standout sf novel in any language.
I also recommend that book, which is similar to Picnic's darkly comedic tone and take on human greed, fears, and risk. The film apparently popularized the Russian term "stalker" to describe someone who explores a forbidden territory.įor context, the brothers' first novella is dated 1958, so they had developed significantly as writers with a bent toward social criticism by the time they created their internationally renown books, such as ”The Dead Mountaineer's Hotel" (1970). The 1979 film "Stalker", directed by Tarkovsky, was adapted by the Strugatsky brothers, based on their novel.
OP, if you feel ready to start with one of their novels, I also recommend "Roadside Picnic". Know any others? Message #scifi and let your friendly mods know!
