For the first time, four stories by the famous writer Kamil Ziganshin are collected under one cover. For those who are familiar with his duology about the Old Believers “Aldan’s Gold”, these stories will be a discovery of new facets of the writer Ziganshin’s talent. There is not a single fictitious line in the story “The Generous Buge”. According to the writer Leonid Sokolov, this is “a discovery of nature, man, and the animal world.” The stories “Makha” and “Boatswain” are stories from which the reader learns a lot of informative and reliable information about the life of the marten and the lynx. “The Return of Wolverine” tells about the fate of two generations of taiga knights, their amazing ability to defend their rights to life and freedom. I would especially like to note that K. Ziganshin’s books are read with equal interest and eagerness by both adults and children.
