Synopsis
HARD TO BE A GOD takes place in the planet of Arkanar, which is in the middle of a period of violence, filth, and crudeness: its own Middle Age. The local population is suffering from a ban issued on anyone who can read and write, and those who resist are brutally punished and killed. Don Rumata is an Earth scientist sent to examine this Earth-like planet. Coming from a culturally advanced world, but here disguised as a noble-born bastard, Don Rumata is rumored by the locals to have a God as one of his ancestors. Rumata does what he can to save the local intelligentsia, but is ultimately forbidden from interfering in the development of Arkanar.
