The Camel Walked Through the Steppe

«The Camel Walked Through the Steppe» — is a saga about two families united by a common love story that begins at the end of the 19th century on the Great Silk Road and unfolds against the backdrop of the 1917 revolution and the Great Patriotic War. 

You step onto the road and find yourself at a crossroads in life. You seek a well and discover fate.

The year is 1896. Chinese caravan driver Zhou Fang sets off along the Silk Road to Siberia, unaware that cold Russia is destined to become his home, and the golden-haired Glafira is the only sun without which life is unimaginable.

The year is 1917. His son Evgeny dreams of Princess Shakhovskaya, undeterred by the difference in their origins. Not only class barriers but also the revolution stand in the way of their union. 

The year is 1941. Decades later, their children will begin their journeys — some in their homeland, some abroad — only to overcome all obstacles and find the happiness their parents dreamed of.

A colorful, almost fairy-tale story with its melody and imagery will remind you of Guzel Yakhina's novels. In the book «The Camel Walked Through the Steppe», there are many thoughts about life in Russia, about the fates of generations, and about the coincidences that become turning points in the history of every person.
