Описание: Алгис Будрис (Algis Budrys, 9 января 1931 - 9 июня 2008) - американский фантаст, литературный критик и редактор. С начала 1950-х гг. Будрис публиковался регулярно, быстро выбившись в лидеры "гуманитарного", социально-ориентированного направления в послевоенной НФ (с Р. Шекли, Ф. Диком и др.). После романа-дебюта "Ложная ночь" (1954), рисующего мрачный мир после катастрофы, Будрис привлек внимание политическим триллером "Кто?" (1958), отразившим атмосферу шпиономании в период "холодной войны"; экранизирован в 1973. Детективный сюжет о западном ученом-киборге, относительно которого есть подозрения в "подмене" (после аварии его "собрали по частям" в СССР, навсегда скрыв лицо железной маской), удачно совмещен с философскими размышлениями на тему поисков человеком "самости", личностного осознания себя. Параноидальными ощущениями послевоенной эпохи пронизан и роман "Падающий факел" (1959;), героико-романтическая история борьбы революционного подполья на Земле с инопланетным тираном. Успех Будрису принес роман "Злая Луна" (др. - "Проказница Луна") (1960), признанный классикой НФ. На поверхности это история открытия загадочного лабиринта, оставленного инопланетянами на Луне и убивающего всякого, кто попытается проникнуть внутрь; второй план содержит "букет" символических и мифологических подтекстов: обряд инициации, Апокалипсис, легенду о Минотавре, "умирание - воскресение" (в результате телепортации c Земли). Популярности романа способствовала внутренняя культура и органичность, с которой соединены оба пласта. После 1965 г. Будрис надолго замолчал, напомнив о себе лишь романом "Майклмас" (1977). Это наиболее значительное произведение писателя, панорама близкого будущего, в котором масс-медиа стали целиком и полностью определять политику. Герой - телеобозреватель Майклмас, с помощью усовершенствованного компьютера не только следящий за всеми новостями в мире, но и "творящий" их ежеминутно, - вызывает авторские симпатии своей ответственностью и профессионализмом; Майклмасу импонирует роль "неофициального" Руководителя (в то время как его электронный помощник уже реально контролирует все компьютерные сети планеты). Также на русский язык был переведен рассказ Будриса "Пугливое дерево".

По составу этот сборник не совпадает ни с одним официальным вариантом "Blood and Burning". Скорее всего - чья-то сборка. Сосканировано и вычитано весьма хорошо, поэтому я счел возможным включить сборник в раздачу. Год - условный ... Blood and Burning 2000, fb2

CHAPTER ONE
I
Late on a day in 1959, three men sat in a room. Edward Hawks, Doctor of Science, cradled his long jaw in his outsize hands and hunched forward with his sharp elbows on the desk. He was a black-haired, pale-skinned, gangling man who rarely got out in the sun. Compared to his staff of tanned young assistants, he always reminded strangers of a scarecrow. Now he was watching a young man who sat in the straight chair facing him. The young man stared unblinkingly. His trim crew-cut was wet with perspiration and plastered by it to his scalp. His features were clean, clear-skinned and healthy, but his chin was wet. ‘An dark …’ he said querulously, ‘an dark and nowhere starlights …’ His voice trailed away suddenly into a mumble, but he still complained. Hawks looked to his right. Weston, the recently hired psychologist, was sitting there in an armchair he’d had brought down to Hawks’ office. Weston, like Hawks, was in his early forties. But he was chunky where Hawks was gaunt; he was self-possessed, urbane behind his black-rimmed glasses and, now, a little impatient. He frowned slightly back towards Hawks and arched one eyebrow. ‘He’s insane,’ Hawks said to him like a wondering child. . . .

When he was as lonely as he was tonight, Laurent Michaelmas would consider himself in a dangerous mood. He would try to pry himself out of it. He’d punch through the adventure channels and watch the holograms cavort in his apartment, noting how careful directors had seen to it there was plenty of action but room as well for the viewer. At times like this, however, perhaps he did not want to be so carefully eased out of the way of hurtling projectiles or sociopathic characters. He would switch to the news channels. He’d study the techniques of competitors he thought he had something to learn from. He’d note the names of good directors and camera operators. So he’d find himself storing up a reserve of compliments for his professional acquaintances when next he saw them, and that, too, wasn’t what he needed now. After that, he would try the instructional media; the good, classic dramas, and opera; documentaries; teaching aids —but the dramas were all memorized in his head already, and he had all the news and most of the documentary data. If there was something he needed to know, Domino could always tell him quickly. It would pall. When it did, as it had tonight, he would become restless. He would not let himself go to the romance channels; that was not for him. He would instead admit that it was simply time again for him to be this way, and that from time to time it would always be this way. . . .
