Description
What is this book about?
A new novella by the award-winning author Boris Ekimov, once again about his homeland—the place that is dear and most important to him: Zadonie.

Even Ekimov’s wonderful steppe landscapes (that can be compared only with Chekhov’s in “The Steppe”) are permeated with bitter wormwood melancholy. The steppe with its unshakable horizon and the restless, torn, as if blown apart from within, life of people who can only hope in Heaven…
