Description
Written by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky and published in 1971, this science fiction novella set the very foundations of the Stalker universe itself.
In 1979, Stalker, a movie loosely based on the book was released on the silver screen, filmed by Andrei Tarkovsky.
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series followed, with Shadow of Chernobyl as the first release in 2007, Clear Sky in 2008 and Call of Pripyat in 2010.
As you can imagine, my experience in this universe started by playing the games.
After that, the film followed. A film I had to watch twice and get something more out of it.
And last but not least, I managed to read the book that started all of this.
When I started looking for the book, I was already in the army for my military obligations towards my country.
So I did not have any means to order it and have it in my hands.
Then I stumbled upon a PDF version I found online and printed it in this tiny A6 size version you see here.
Tiny book, with even smaller letters, but it was the ideal size to fit in my uniform's pocket at all times.
I read it for the first time in the army, and I read it one more time after that. It got pretty beaten up, to tell you the truth.
I will surely have the original book someday, but this little book I got here will always be my favorite version.
