Somewhere a war is raging, which has affected everyone and everyone - both those who fight in battle and those who remain in the rear. A young man from a village far from the front line and his family and friends live their seemingly peaceful life, with its simple joys and sorrows, but the echo of war does not bypass them either. And it seems that life is the same - both business and holidays - but something has changed and it will never be the same as before... This collection includes stories and short stories written in the early years of the writer’s work - “War is thundering somewhere” , “Sukhodol”, “Starfall” and others.
