Farewell to Matyora

Bright, vibrant, and precise — this is how one can describe the language in the works of the great Russian writer Valentin Rasputin (1937—2015). It is no wonder that many of his books have become true classics of domestic literature, and the novella "Farewell to Matyora" is one of them.
This is a story about a small Russian village, which are scattered by the hundreds in the corners of our vast country. And this small island in the middle of the river became a true home and a beloved place for some. But the village is doomed to destruction — and with great sadness and pain, the local residents say goodbye to it… "Farewell to Matyora" is a novella about the clash of traditions and modernity, about memory and duty, about respect and death.
