Svyatoslav Loginov is a well-known science-fiction writer, a laureate of the "Aelita," "Wanderer," and "Interpresscon" awards. He works in the genres of fantasy, social science fiction, and scientific fiction. We present, in audio format, his famous novel "The Well." The book is written in the historical fantasy genre, but it is very close to the realities of the past. The novel’s hero, Semyon, is captured by steppe people. Ahead of him are long years of agonizing slavery. Freedom will give him the chance to find everyone who did him harm and take revenge on the offenders. But perhaps the harsh trials changed Semyon—made him not only stronger, but also wiser—and he will understand his true purpose? Listen to the difficult story of the hero!
