Maniac lives on Vasilievsky [Island] {a district of St.Petersburg}.
Panting, I climbed to the fifth floor: at the time this house was built,
elevators were yet a novelty, and rang at the door. One, two, three...
pause.. one, two. Even if Maniac is in the Deep, the computer connected to
all apartment wiring will submit to the code ring at the door and eject
Maniac from virtuality.
The steps sounded iable
conditions...
Again I was looking at the virtual world, but it is yet too much like a
cheap cartoon: a grainy image, a nice but rough drawing. Computers can't
handle anything better.
And that's okay. What is the deep without the human after all?
I blinked once, relaxed trying to enter virtuality by my own and failed
of course. I'm not in the desert, I'm at home, by the keyboard. I had to
type the command:
deep
[Enter]
The multicolor whirlwi About Man Without Face.
My interlocutor shakes his head.
- Hardly will it be so intriguing as the youth dressed in smoking
clothes...
We both laugh quietly.
- So Mr Diver... have you ever played in the 'Labyrinth of Death'?
- Possibly.
- Do you know that two divers cooperate with them?
- I can assume that.
Even two? I was sure that 'Labyrinth' manages with only one rescuer..
- I can give you their addresses... either network or the resider the existence of divers?
The monster is motionless. I'm dead, long time dead.. I step on the
hair bridge carefully...
- Who are you?!
Oh my, again... Looks like it reacts to the touch of the bridge. Even
worse.
- The one who is not at your mercy! - I reply.
- But whose mercy you're at?
Something new.
- Allah's, - I answer randomly.
This time the monster just slams me with the free hand, so that I
partially flow over the palm's stupid, it's not a sin to scoff at them. Just look at
yourself: as you were a 'newbie' always, you're still the one.
I agreed.
- But then the deep emerged... it seemed that all our dreams come true.
- Maniac laughed bitterly - But in reality-hell no! I, the cool hacker, - he
declared with a challenge, - am just one of the millions in the Abyss...
well, just a little smarter possibly, I have some experience after all. But
sometimes... such shit happens anyway...
HSergey Lukjanenko. Labyrinth of reflections
________________________________________
* Yuri Kalmykov. Translators notes *
About the Author:
Sergey Lukjanenko, 30, is one of the today's most popular Russian
Sci-Fi writers. His first works were published in 1988. Currently his
bibliography includes more than 40 titles of novels and short stories. The
Author defines his genre as the "hard action science fiction", but all his
works also have a very well defined philosophical aspect. The novel offered
to your attention was written in 1997 and became the real 'cult book' of the
Russian Internet.
Sergey is married, he lives in Moscow.
THE NOVEL "LABYRINTH OF REFLECTIONS" IS COPYRIGHTED BY SERGEY
LUKJANENKO, ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED BY THE AUTHOR. ANY COMMERCIAL USE OF THE
NOVEL'S TEXT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
Several notes for the reader:
1). My English sucks. So it was obviously way too presumptuous of me to
try to make a translation like this. It was my love to this book only that
made me to venture into this adventure. ;-) I was hoping that this novel is
really worth your kind attention (despite my ugly
English?).
2). Some opinions expressed in this book by the main or other
characters, as well as some words/terms used, might be considered car insurance rate offensive
to some Western readers. In fact, one such situation was even showed closer
to the end of the novel itself. The concept of "PC" (aka 'Political
Correctness') does not really exist in Russia which fact IMHO makes the life
much easier and slightly reduces the amount of stupidity that inevitably
presents in this life. Despite that, I definitely had to use the 'softened'
terms in my translation in order not to outrage the people (not too much at
least). But of course, something might have still leaked out. Please
consider yourselves warned.
3). FIDO
Some more confusion can be caused by Lukjanenko's technical details and
descriptions of the Net due to one more fact: he writes from the point of
view of the person who was once the FIDOnet member. Also it seems that
Sergey himself was mostly affiliated with FIDO at the time of this book's
writing. The principles of FIDO's system organization differ from the ones
of the Internet. I never was FIDO member, so I know very little. In general,
it's free, amateurs' network that allows its members to exchange emails and
files. FIDO uses its own proprietary protocol. Special gateways are used to
exchange emails with the Internet. Look at www.fidonet.org for more
details... But be prepared to get back not the homepage, but some HTML code.
{G} The guys have forgot to put the {HTML} tag into the code of their main
page... OOPS.
4). The names.
The same name in Russian usually can have several forms, reflecting the
attitude of the one who pronounces the name to the one named. The number of
these forms is as far as I can judge, much bigger than in English. That's
why in my translation I preferred to retain the original rules of forming
such names and to provide this note. Another important reason is that the
Russian name changed according to the rules of doing so in English would
sound ridiculous (maybe for me only, as I'm Russian... ;-) ), not mentioning
that it's not always possible to do this with Russian names at all. Example:
John - Johnny. Now try to do the same with, say, my name: Yuri. Yup... My
point exactly. Below is the example of how the first name of the main
character can be 'bent'. The same often happens to other names in the book.
For inexperienced reader it might be confusing, so I apologize... Russia
*is* confusing by definition, so bear with it. :-)
Leonid - the complete name.
Lenia (should be read roughly as Lyo-nee-aa; don't pronounce 'double
lettered' sounds as too long ones though) - this is slightly diminutive,
friendly form used by relatives and friends.
Lenechka (Lyo-nee-chka) - a "pet-name" form, sometimes also used with
sarcasm, depending on the context.
Lenchik - "pet-name"/unceremonious address.
Len'ka ( here ' means softening of the previous sound, 'n' in this name
sounds like 'n' in the word 'change') - Unceremonious address, a bit
slighting. Often used by close friends without any offensive context.
... and so on. No more forms are used in the book, so I'd better not
confuse you any more.
Another trick is how the names are formed n general. In particular, the
concept of the middle name in Russia. It is not 'given', but rather is the
father's name. To be used as a middle name, special endings are attached:
-ovich, -evich for man's middle name (yeah, they are gender specific!),
-ovna, evna for female's middle name.
Examples: Petrovich Alekseevich - men's
