The word “Itihasa” is translated from Sanskrit as the expression “That’s exactly how it happened.” A monster devouring demons is somewhere nearby. Guardians prowl all the gorges. What will save him, the young demon? Muscle strength and rage or love and the wonderful abilities of a powerful, beautiful priestess? When two loving hearts unite, nothing can stop them - not hordes of creepy creatures from the underworld, not the sinister army of an insidious ruler, not the betrayal of their mentors. And maybe he will have time to become a man? But how can you trust people? Who are these mysterious creatures - people, and what are they doing on this Earth? Based on extensive ethnographic and folklore material, the author reproduces vivid pictures of the life of ancient Altai. The book is intended for a wide range of readers who are interested in the still amazing and mysterious Mountain Altai.< /p>
