Description
Chingiz Aitmatov’s novel “And a Day Lasts Longer than a Century…” offers the reader a universal concept of being and of the human. The writer-thinker tries to embrace the boundless immensity of life and the universe—from a fox that appears on the railway tracks to other galaxies that have come into contact with Earthlings. But at the center of it all stands the person, the individual, a soul in which the eternal struggle of good and evil takes place. A line from a Pasternak poem, which became the title of the novel, highlights the scale of the author’s design: the past, present, and future merge into an eternal whole. The core of the plot is the depiction of the funeral of an old railway worker at a distant station in the steppe. And around this ordinary event grows a multi-layered picture of life and of three families at a tiny halt—and of the country as a whole. The novel combines genre features of realistic narration, philosophical reflection, myth, and a science-fictional utopia.
