Modern classic Dan Simmons is the acclaimed author of Terror, Drood and The Fifth Heart, the fantasy epic Hyperion/Endymion, The Dark Game of Death and Summer of Night, winner and finalist for nearly a hundred prestigious literary awards in a wide variety of genres (Hugo, "Nebula", the World Fantasy Award, the Bram Stoker Award, the Locus Award, the Arthur C. Clarke Award, the British Science Fiction Association Award, and many others, including Japanese, German, French, Italian, and Spanish awards). In the "Troy" dilogy, made up of the novels "Ilion" and "Olympus", he finally returned to the genre that made him famous at the beginning of his career - large-scale space opera with many allusions from classical literature. Here intelligent robotic Moravecs, having set off from the moons of Jupiter to investigate the anomalous quantum activity of Mars, discuss the comparative merits of Shakespeare and Proust on the way; here the Olympian gods, taking advantage of all the wonders of nanotechnology, send resurrected scholiast scientists to observe the Trojan War; here the posthumans leave only a million people on Earth, and here a certain butterfly collector arrives at the Ardis Hall estate, intending to seduce the young Ada.... The translation is published in a new edition.
