For the first time in Russian! One of the greatest literary sagas of our time, ranking alongside such masterpieces as Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind and Colleen McCullough's The Thorn Birds. The story begins on a mountain pass in the Himalayas, where the famous scientist Hilary Pelham-Martin and His wife Isabella had a son, Ashton. A completely extraordinary fate awaited the boy. Having lost his parents early, he remained in the arms of his nurse, a simple Indian woman, who managed to protect him during the bloody uprising of the sepoys. In their travels, they passed through the whole of India and found shelter in the northern principality of Gulkote. There, amid wealth and luxury, Ash encountered treachery and treachery, but also found friendship and love for the rest of his life. An English aristocrat by birth, an Indian boy by upbringing, he always believed that happiness awaited him in the green valley behind the snow-capped mountains called Dur-Khaima, which means the Distant Tents. “The Distant Tents” is one of those books that is read in one breathing, and I want it to never end. Parting with her characters is like parting with a beloved friend.
