Your name is Yuryun Wolan, White Youth. You were born a hero. And what? The usual thing. You are not the first, you are not the last. You are ten years old, and you hit a crow in the eye and a bear in the ear. All that remains is to go to Kuznya and acquire heroic armor. Life is beautiful, there are battles and exploits ahead. And the envious Omogoya had to remember out loud your brother, whom you don’t know about, and your family doesn’t even want to talk about! From this moment, life shatters into pieces, and the debris flies into the Abyss of Death, to the three iron cradles. The new novel by G. L. Oldie “The Strong” invites the reader to the Three Worlds of the heroic tales of the peoples of the North, where behind the revived legends of antiquity rises the ghost of the academician’s “theory of time” Kozyreva is a living legend of our century.
