A Mongol named Naran, who was once mutilated in childhood by the claws of a wild beast, goes to the mountains to ask the god Tengri about the destiny he has prepared for the young man on earth. After all, everyone on earth has his own business - so what is he needed for, so ugly and loved by almost no one?.. One by one, the roots connecting him with civilized life - life in the village are cut off. Naran turns into a wild beast in human form and, having reached the goal, receives the answer - for one who has lost himself, God has no purpose. The punishment for Naran is this: his next life will be spent in the body of a sheep, with all its inherent gentle habits. A blind girl named Kerme loses her only friend, a sheep named Clutzer, who is sacrificed by Tengri, but gains a groom - the powerful and swift Wind - and a child who is ripening in the womb. Clutter was not the most ordinary sheep. His gaze is always directed towards the mountains, and there is genuine melancholy in his eyes. Kerma becomes more confident that the child is a Clutzer who moved into her stomach and could not go to the Heavenly Steppes without reaching the coveted mountains. Then she decides to help. Alone, in the company of only her imagination, a blind Mongolian woman sets off on a journey to eventually begin to hear her child, so that he will save her from the infection, taking her into himself and with such self-sacrifice at once regaining Tengri’s favor and finding her destiny. Two The storylines develop in parallel, and the reader does not know what the connection is between the characters. It is fully revealed only in the last chapters. This is a novel about the search for the meaning of life, including in other people, and about how important it is to remain oneself. The novel is a finalist of the Independent Literary Award “Debut 2013” in the “Large Prose” category.
