Richard Adams captivated the world with his first book, The Hill Dwellers. This novel, initially rejected by all major publishing houses, fell in love with millions of readers around the world, was filmed twice and took its rightful place alongside “The Little Prince” by A. Saint-Exupéry, “The Jonathan Livingston Seagull” by R. Bach, “Wine of Dandelions" by R. Bradbury and "Flowers for Algernon" by D. Keyes. "The Hill Dwellers" was followed by "Shardik" - a novel of truly epic proportions, and Adams himself called this book the most beloved in all his work. The world depicted in Shardik has been compared to J. P. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth and C. S. Lewis's Narnia, and even to Homer's Odyssey. The action begins on the island of Ortelga - the far outskirts of the powerful Beklan Empire. The Ortelgians worship a god in bear form and believe that one day Shardik the Power of God will return to rescue them from many years of exile. And then one day a young hunter Kelderek, nicknamed Play-with-Children, finds a gigantic bear. Confident that this beast is none other than Shardik, he decides to do the seemingly impossible. Ahead of him is a battle for the empire, and the throne of the king-priest, and unexpected love, and a painful search for himself... What unfolds before us is not just a panorama of a fictional world, thought out to the smallest detail, with living and breathing heroes, but a story about a man’s search for God, about dialogue with the divine, about faith and redemption. Modern classics - for the first time in Russian. Sign of information products 16 +
