Vasyutkino Lake

This collection includes stories by Viktor Astafyev, often autobiographical, invariably filled with love for the Homeland and people: Vasyutkino Lake, The Horse with the Pink Mane, Somewhere the War Rumbles, The Last Bow and others. They are about man and nature - the Siberian nature that the writer loved so much - and the relationships between generations, premature growing up and the tragedies of wartime, the sadness and joy of village life, about irreparable losses and great kindness.
