Alpha of the Great Bear

A few sketches from the life of pioneers. Stories about such unchanging values as friendship, responsibility, and honesty. The reader dives headfirst into the vivid, romance-soaked life of the teenagers of days gone by. The story of the trumpeter Genka, the tale of a fellow traveler Serenka sailing under sails—everything merges into a single bright kaleidoscope of narration, full of the feeling of a lively boyhood life.
