Conceited Robot and Other Fantastic Stories

Henry Kattner, published not only under his real name, but also under a good dozen pseudonyms, is considered one of the four or five leading American science fiction writers of the 1940s. Legendary genre magazines, such as Future, Thrilling Wonder, Planet Stories and Weird Tales, more than willingly accepted the works that he independently or co -authored with his wife, a famous science fiction master and fantasy Katherine Lucille Moore, happened that the whole release of the magazine was allocated for the work of Kattner. Almost everything created by this author has a shade of genius, but he especially succeeded in a “small literary form”: stories about the mutants of Hogbenes, about the eccentric inventor of Galleger and many others, flavored with inimitable humor, several generations of readers instilled a persistent love of science fiction. This collection included twenty-nine famous works by Kattner, including the science fiction novel “Rage”. The stories of Creon and All the Tenali Borgovs ... were awarded the Hugo award
