Foresters, who just yesterday were city dwellers, Siberian shepherds and hunters, a Moscow State University professor and newly converted Old Believers pilgrims going to the “taiga hermit” Agafya Lykova, fictional characters and real people inhabit the new story by Ilya Kochergin, winner of many literary awards. In the protected area of the reserve, people’s lives, and time itself, flow a little differently. This is exactly the place where exciting and unusual meetings take place - modern urban people and fading wild nature, tradition and modernity, fairy tales and reality, meetings of different cultures and views. This story is truly modern and “ecological” - both in topic and in relation to the person who opens this book. The very form of presentation invites co-creation - after each chapter we see “materials for the chapter”, which not only show what inspired the author, but also invite the reader to “come into contact” with the book and, perhaps, with nature in a different way. to complete these stories for yourself. Together with the heroes, try to shift your “assemblage point” and take a fresh look at the huge and beautiful world. The story received the October magazine award for 2017.
