“And a Day More Than a Century Lasts” — one of the most popular novels by Chingiz Aytmatov.
The main character is Yedigey, a switchman at the Boranly-Burannyi railway junction. On either side of the railway in these harsh places lie boundless steppes, and besides the protagonist, only his best friend Kazangap lives there. When Kazangap dies, Yedigey decides to bury him at the old Anа-Beyit cemetery—“Mother’s Rest”—steeped in many legends and tales. However, at the cemetery, where many generations of his ancestors rest, a spaceport surrounded by barbed wire with a guard at the gate has already been built…
“And a Day More Than a Century Lasts” is a structurally complex novel in which myth and reality intertwine, and the present with the past.
