Summary/Abstract: Literary piece by Ursula Legvin, a science fiction author, is linked with theoretical, as well as practical anthropology, in several ways. Her life, education, prose production and reception of her work create a whole, which is in many ways related with anthropology on the one, and the changes in the modern world on the other. Her work has, owing to its great popularity, contributed to a great extent to the adoption of some primarily anthropological thesis with the broadest population (not only among Americans) and thus significantly influenced the change of the public discourse-the shaping of the contemporary ideal picture of the world.
