The Wish Machine (screenplay)

The Wish Machine (Russian: Машина желаний), also called Stalker, is a screenplay by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky for the movie Stalker that in turn is based on a part of their 1972 novel Roadside Picnic, published in Avrora issues 7–9. There are two versions of it: an early draft, printed by Text Publishers,[1] and the second one, published in Сборник научной фантастики, 1981, issue 25.[2]

The latter one was translated to French by Svetlana Delmotte in 1981, as "Stalker. Pique-nique au bord du chemin"; to Swedish by Kjell Rehnström and Sam J. Lundwall, and published as Stalker,[3] ISBN 91-86222-27-9 to Polish: Maszyna życzeń, by Paweł Porwit in: Kwazar 01 (13) 1983; and to Hungarian: Stalker, by Iván Földeák, 1984.[4]
