"The terrible liar"

Two children are closely watching the scientific expedition, which flew to the excavations in their city.

"Yykh leaves the cave"

Middle Asia. A boy and a girl secretly fled from the pioneer camp. In the dark, they did not notice a cliff, rolled down and found themselves in a huge "stone glass", where the Neanderthal tribe lived. The guys are trying to get along with them: the boy teaches them to shoot from a slingshot, play the language, the girl is trying to instill good in them. The guys save one aborigine after the paws of a bear, and the tribe announced the girl a new leader. Yykh, a former leader, is trying to kill the guys. Soon a helicopter flew after them, and a few minutes after their rescue there was a terrible earthquake, which covered the whole valley with stones. The fallen Neanderthals, as it turned out, were feral descendants of a scientific expedition that disappeared 200 years ago.

"Humble genius"

A tourist from the United States steals drawings from a mediocre Soviet draftsman. There was a stir around his "paintings", he was declared a genius persecuted by the Soviet authorities, as a result of which there is a great military-political crisis.

“Flour of Tamtalov”

The book consists of several stories with metamorphoses - people unexpectedly and quite successfully completely change their life and profession. False scientists, rogues and opportunists appear on the way of the heroes, the struggle against which leads to radical changes: the techie becomes a singer, the scientist becomes a worker, the philologist becomes the restaurant director ...

"This unbearable Marigold"

13-year-old Alik Nogotkov accidentally swallowed experimental stimulants, and suddenly became a hypnotist and a telepath. After a series of quite ordinary boyish adventures, he makes his way to a rocket flying to Mars. On the way, they are intercepted and sent to their planet by the inhabitants of the Brilliant Iolla - the planet of the star Flying Barnard . On Iolla, technological progress has gone forward millions of years, and the main inhabitants are robots, in which intelligent Mikri creatures are slaves. Alik, using his abilities, helps mikri to overthrow the power of robots.

"Concrete and heart"

The work echoes the novel "Muki Tamtalova." The book is about culture (and against rudeness) in everything - in production, in construction, in personal responsibility for everything done. Satire about how people and resources are used for other purposes, for example, scientists are sent to dig trenches and dig potatoes.
