Excerpt: Roadside Picnic (Russian: ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, Piknik na obochine, IPA: ) is a short science fiction novel written by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky between January 18 and November 3 of 1971. As of 1998, 38 editions of the novel were published in 20 countries. The novel was first translated to English by Antonina W. Bouis. The preface to the first American edition of the novel (MacMillan Publishing Co., Inc, New York, 1977) was written by Theodore Sturgeon. The film Stalker directed by Andrei Tarkovsky is loosely based on the novel, with a screenplay written by the Strugatskys. The story was written by Strugatsky brothers in 1971 (the first outlines written January 18¿27, 1971 in Leningrad, with the final version completed between October 28 and November 3, 1971 in Komarovo.) In 1977, the novel was first published in the United States in English. Roadside Picnic was refused publication in the Soviet Union for eight years due to government censorship and numerous delays. The heavily censored different versions published between 1980 and 2000 have little in common with the original version written by the authors. Soviet censors rewrote major plot points, changed names of characters and dialog to better reflect the Marxist ideology (removed language deemed as "rude"; heavier emphasis was placed on the exploitation of the Zones for "materialistic" purposes by an elite bourgeois cabal as a means to oppress the proletariat masses, etc.) The only Russian language version endorsed by the Strugatsky brothers as the original, was published in the 2000¿2003 collection titled The Black Works of the Strugatsky Brothers. The name of the novel derives from a metaphor proposed by Dr. Valentine Pillman, who believes there is no rational explanation either for the alien Visitation or the mysterious properties of the Zones or the purpose of the artifacts found there. In the novel, he compares the Visitation to "A picnic. Picture a forest, a country road, a meadow. Cars drive off the countr
