Description

Volume two of the writer's multi-volume «Collected Works» that you now hold includes the novel «Atau-kere» and two novellas — «Everything Is the Front» and «The Temper of Sand» («Barkhan»). The novel portrays the life of beekeepers in the Altai Mountains. Events unfold in a psychological vein around the main character Erik, his mother Nyura, and his wife Aina. The novel also sensitively depicts the reasons why the talent of one of the central figures, a strapping young man named Tagan, was destroyed by the affliction of alcoholism. At the same time, the author faithfully portrays, and stirs deep feeling over, the calamities that befell the people during the years of famine and the cult of personality.
