Science fiction is the most popular fantasy genre. In such works, inventions and technologies that have not yet been created are considered. Often the plot takes place in the future. One of those working in the style of science fiction is Sergei Alexandrovich Abramov.
The road to vocation
He wrote about two dozen works. The future author was born in Moscow in 1994, on April 10. His father, the famous writer Alexander Ivanovich Abramov, also wrote in the genre of science fiction. In collaboration with his parent, Abramov Jr. created about ten works.
Sergey Aleksandrovich studied at the Moscow Automobile and Road Institute, graduated from the Civil Aviation Department. The future writer took part in the construction of the Domodedovo airport. Working at the institute department, the young specialist saw many discoveries, and his father's work became a factor that pushed him to change the direction of his biography.
In 1966, Sergei Alexandrovich became famous after the publication of the story “Walking for Three Worlds”, created with her father. From 1968 to 1988 Sergei Aleksandrovich worked in Literaturnaya Gazeta, Smena, Pravda and Theater as a journalist. Since 1988 Abramov became the editor of his own newspaper "Semya".
Since 1997, the writer has become deputy chairman of the capital's Committee on Telecommunications and Media in the government.
Iconic works
Since 2000, Abramov became Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of Internal Policy in the Administration of the President of the country.
Until 2004, he served as Secretary of the Presidential Councils for Science, Arts, Culture, Education, Technology and Sports. In 1961, Abramov's author debut as a writer took place.
He created his first works in collaboration with his father. Books were in great demand among connoisseurs of science fiction. The novels "Horsemen from Nowhere" and "Everything is Permitted" were created precisely in the initial period.
Since the beginning of the seventies, Abramov Jr. has been working on his own. Outside of creativity with his parent are his books "Spinning Top for Gulliver", "Rope Walkers", "Big Miracles in a Small Town". The author has departed substantially from the original canons. In his latest works, fantasy lines are noticeable.
The trilogy of the same name is based on the novel “Riders from Nowhere”. The plot develops around the pink clouds that have appeared in the sky of Arkhangelsk, unusual even for old-timers. Although pink formations that can cut off ice peaks cannot be called clouds.
Simultaneously with strange phenomena, phantom cities, doubles appear all over the planet. It is not known what awaits the world next. The scientific community is organizing an expedition to find out the cause of the incident. Pink clouds lead their heroes in 1968 to Paradise without Memory.
The riders from nowhere transported earthlings to the planet with a world that repeats the earthly one. Residents do not remember the past, they are not interested in their own future. As a result, dramatic events develop on the planet. The author shows how destructive the loss of historical memory is for civilization.
Miracle and reality
The solo debut novel "Tightrope Walkers" shows a world in which ordinary dreams are under control. Only visions entered in a special register are dropped for viewing. However, there are also those who wish to watch "forbidden works". The protagonist of the work met such a desperate individual.
In 1956 father and son Abramov created the story "New Aladdin". The main character of the piece was lucky to find an old bracelet. The ancient artifact radically changed the further biography of a rural teacher.
In 1980, the story "Above the Rainbow" was published. A feature film of the same name was later shot based on her motives. The main character of the book, Alexander Raduga, manages a lot, he is talented in almost everything. Only physical education is not given to him. The main problem for a high school student is high jumps.
Suddenly unlucky in terms of sports, Alik transforms into the best school athlete. The reason for such a radical transformation is an unusual dream that the guy has seen. And not alone.
The work raises the serious problem of paying for the realization of an old dream. Rainbow made his choice. He decided to achieve success in sports by his own labor. The guy realized that it is much more pleasant to overcome difficulties yourself.
In a later period, Abramov Jr. created the story "The Quiet Angel Flew by". It shows an alternate reality. According to the book, Germany was the winner in World War II.
