In his new book, Alexander Stesin returns to Africa - this time to Egypt and Ethiopia. During an unpredictable trip with a Hindu friend, he constantly discovers sudden kinship and the extreme range of cultures, and the names of writers, famous and little-known, are constantly used as passwords. From Pushkin to Gumilyov, from Bealyu Girma to Danyachou Worku. It was Warku’s stories that inspired Stesin to embark on an unusual journey—a “travel with translation,” and in this book, along with a travelogue, the reader will find translated stories by one of the best African writers of the 20th century.
