Editor's Note:
"Улитка на склоне" - самое странное, самое неоднозначное произведение в богатом творческом наследии братьев Стругацких. Произведение, в котором собственно фантастика, "магический реализм" и даже некоторые оттенки психоделики переплетены в удивительно талантливое оригинальное единое целое.Повесть резко делится на две части, мало соотносящимися друг с другом, но показывающими различные отношения к одному объекту — Лесу: «Лес, или Кандид» и «Управление, или Перец». Эти части чередуются.«Лес, или Кандид». Исследователь Кандид, попав в аварию, оказался среди аборигенов Леса. Потеряв память, он безуспешно силится вспомнить свое прошлое и постепенно принимает жизнь аборигенов Леса, пытающихся сохранить свое прошлое.«Управление, или Перец». Сюжет сводится к работе большого учреждения — Управления — по недопущению попадания сотрудников в Лес. Сотрудникам Управления разрешается находиться только у обрыва возле Леса, а дальше — нельзя. Однако герой повествования Перец — законопослушный сотрудник — все равно мечтает попасть в Лес, видя абсурдность подобного запрета. Его настойчивость привлекает внимание, должным образом оценивается, уважается — и он сам становится крупным начальником Управления. И — должен принимать все то, что раздражало его прежде.Повесть показывает два мира в их протвопоставлении в образе двух персонажей — Кандида и Переца.Сатирическая подоплека литературного произведения проступала совершенно отчетливо.Повесть затрагивает множество проблем, обобщая историю человечества и проблему власти. Авторы доводят до абсурда окружающую действительность, в которой, казалось бы, нет ничего особенного — настолько она привычна и вошла в быт. Это сатира на бюрократию вообще и на всю социальную систему.Власть в своих амбициях становится абсурдной и одновременно трагедийной — ей самой от себя некуда деваться.
