Chingiz Aitmatov's heroes live in different times and places: on the shore of the Sea of Okhotsk, in a forest cordon near Lake Issyk-Kul, in a Kyrgyz ail lost in the mountain gorges... One of them spent his childhood in the harsh war years, the other lives in the seemingly cloudless post-war years... Well, who knows when the little Nivkh Kirisk went on his first sea hunt? Each of these boys will have to face a far from childish test - both the natural elements and human malice and self-interest, to withstand the test of willpower, confidence in their rightness and faith in the beauty of the world. "Childhood, not only a glorious time, childhood - the core of the future human personality," - Aitmatov believed and forced the heroes to pass the hardest exam - the most important in their lives. Illustrations by Svetozar Ostrov intentionally do not emphasize the tragic events. But they are in harmony with Aitmatov's prose itself, "harsh and tender", imbued with the beauty of nature and folklore and mythological motifs. Therefore, the drawings show a herd of horses rushing through a completely deserted world, a horned mother deer galloping through time and space, and a female fish emerging from the depths of the sea. These are the ones who will help the heroes make the right choice.
