The socio-philosophical novel "The Bull's Hour" is one of the major works by the founder of modern Russian science fiction, philosopher and paleontologist Ivan Yefremov. The story is set on the distant planet Tormans, which sheltered Earthlings who left Earth on the brink of catastrophe many millennia ago. The civilization of Tormans has stagnated at the stage of a totalitarian "state capitalism" that is hopeless and bleak. By chance, a spaceship from the new Earth arrives there. Through the clash of two worldviews, the author illuminates many complex problems and contradictions in the development of human society. Thus, a unique dystopia is born, warning the world of the dangers lurking in the rapid progress of an immoral civilization.
