Belzebubove Priče Svom Unuku
Objektivno nepristrasna kritika života čoveka
SVE I SVJA
Deset knjiga, u tri serije, od kojih je ovo prva serija.
Original napisan na ruskom i jermenskom. Prevodi na druge jezike rađeni su pod ličnim rukovodstvom autora, od strane grupe prevodilaca koje je on izabrao i posebno obučenih prema njihovim određenim individualnostima, u skladu sa tekstom koji se prevodi i u odnosu na filološke posebnosti svakog jezika.
PRVA SERIJA: Tri knjige pod nazivom “Objektivno nepristrasna kritika života čoveka,” ili, “Belzebubove priče svom unuku.”
DRUGA SERIJA: Tri knjige pod zajedničkim nazivom “Susreti sa izuzetnim ljudima.”
TREĆA SERIJA: Četiri knjige pod zajedničkim nazivom “Život je stvaran samo onda, kada, ’Ja jesam’.”
Sve napisane prema potpuno novim principima logičkog rasuđivanja i strogo usmerene na rešavanje sledeća tri ključna problema:
PRVA SERIJA: Da uništi, bez milosti, bez bilo kakvih kompromisa, u mentaciji i osećanjima čitaoca, verovanja i gledišta, vekovima ukorenjivanih u njemu, o svemu što postoji na svetu.
DRUGA SERIJA: Da upozna čitaoca sa materijalom neophodnim za neko novo stvaranje i da dokaže njegovu valjanost i dobar kvalitet.
TREĆA SERIJA: Da pomaže nastanak, u mentaciji i osećanjima čitaoca, istinite, nefantastične predstave ne o tom umišljenom svetu koji sada poima, već o svetu koji postoji u realnosti.

Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson
An Objectively Impartial Criticism of the Life of Man
ALL AND EVERYTHING
Ten Books, in Three Series, of which this is the First Series
Original written in Russian and Armenian. Translations into other languages have been made under the personal direction of the author, by a group of translators chosen by him and specially trained according to their defined individualities, in conformity with the text to be translated and in relation to the philological particularities of each language.
FIRST SERIES: Three books under the title of “An Objectively Impartial Criticism of the Life of Man,” or, “Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson.”
SECOND SERIES: Three books under the common title of “Meetings with Remarkable Men.”
THIRD SERIES: Four books under the common title of “Life is Real Only Then, When ‘I Am.’ ”
All written according to entirely new principles of logical reasoning and strictly directed towards the solution of the following three cardinal problems:
FIRST SERIES: To destroy, mercilessly, without any compromises whatsoever, in the mentation and feelings of the reader, the beliefs and views, by centuries rooted in him, about everything existing in the world.
SECOND SERIES: To acquaint the reader with the material required for a new creation and to prove the soundness and good quality of it.
THIRD SERIES: To assist the arising, in the mentation and in the feelings of the reader, of a veritable, nonfantastic representation not of that illusory world which he now perceives, but of the world existing in reality.
