Description

Viktor Petrovich Astafyev is an outstanding Russian writer whose works touch on two important themes—life in the village and wartime events. He describes life in the village, where people face the consequences of a war that affects everyone, both the front-line fighters and those who remained at home. His stories show how war changes ordinary life and what changes it brings. The collection includes the writer’s early novellas and short stories, including “The Pass,” “Starodub,” “Starfall,” “Somewhere War Thunders,” “The Last Bow,” and “An Ode to the Russian Vegetable Garden.”
