Konstantin Sedykh's novel "Dauria" is often compared to "And Quiet Flows the Don": these books tell the story of the Cossacks in the 20th century; the disruption of centuries-old traditions that seemed unshakable; the destruction of the old world and the emergence of a new one—frightening and cruel for some, desirable and long-awaited for others.
The events described in "Dauria" unfold many thousands of kilometers from the Don steppes—in Transbaikalia. The civil war reaches the farthest borders of the country: not only the residents of the village of Mungalovsky are divided into Reds and Whites, but also members of a single family—the Ulybin Cossacks.
Konstantin Sedykh called this novel his labor of love, devoting "an abyss of labor" to it: it took 15 years to complete. Legends and tales, archival sources, the memoirs of Civil War veterans, and scholarly works—all this combine to create a colorful panorama of Transbaikalia in the early 20th century.
"Dauria" was translated into many languages and published in the UK, USA, France, Canada, and Yugoslavia; during the author's lifetime, the novel went through over 100 editions. The book was adapted into a two-part feature film of the same name (1971), starring Vasily Shukshin, Vitaly Solomin, Yefim Kopelyan, and other remarkable actors.
