"The pearl of the volume is the story that gives the title of the anthology, "Fantastica lumea e lui Cristobald", a simply gorgeous love story, which describes the position of the Creator Demiurge capable of materializing his dreams on a cosmic level. As in all elegies about geniuses, even this one between a genius understood and accepted by everyone and a teenage girl in search of celestial substance in a Nirvana barely touched by Man. The book will inevitably be successful, I'm almost sorry to tell you that they have been stuck in the manuscript for so long. Here they are free, the sci-fi fandom will applaud them.” Alexander Mironov
