Lazar Yosifovych Lagin ((ロシア語:Ла́зарь Ио́сифович Лагин)) was the pen name of Lazar Ginzburg (4 December 1903, Vitebsk – 4 June 1979, Moscow), a Soviet author of children's and science fiction books. Lagin is best known for his ever popular book ''Starik Hottabych'' (Старик Хоттабыч, ''Old Man Hottabych'', 1937), a fairy tale telling the story of a genie who is freed from captivity by a Soviet schoolboy. The genie, as is to be expected, has some trouble in adapting to modern life values and technological development. The book was recommended to school libraries by Ministry of general and professional education of Russian Federation; it was made into the film ''Old Khottabych'' in 1956. Lagin's science fiction novels are set in imaginary Western "capitalist" countries and satirize misuse of scientific inventions in bourgeois society. His novella ''Major Well Andyou'' (Майор Велл Эндъю) is a satiric sequel to H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds. Lagin was also a screenplay writer, producing, for instance, the screenplay for the 1967 animation film ''Passion of Spies''. == In English == *''The Old Genie Hottabych'', Fredonia Books, 2001. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lazar Lagin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
