Грезы о Земле и небе

"'Unconventional' is an understatement when it comes to Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky. A man set apart from the rest, his childlike directness permeated every aspect of his life. His deafness forced him into solitude, where he delved deep into his thoughts, measuring the world with his own unique yardstick, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. And he erased them. As a dreamer extraordinaire, the element that captivated him like no other was the air – and flight. It was from this passion that his blueprints for airships were born, along with his designs for spaceships to explore beyond the bounds of Earth. And eventually, his personal invention of a sailchair and skating (with an umbrella!) on the frozen Oka River. It was these fantastical ideas and calculations that ultimately brought him fame. Yet, equally deserving of attention is the philosophy of this extraordinary individual. Seeing poverty as a blessing, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky desired nothing for himself and was as selfless as he was a dreamer. Constantly – and optimistically – looking towards the future, he dedicated every invention to the present and future of humanity. This book combines biographical notes of K.E.
