Chingiz Aitmatov: Spotted Dog Running Along the Seashore. Printed book.

The surest path to creative immortality is to write from the perspective of eternity. It is from this vantage point that Chingiz Aitmatov, a classic of Russian and Kyrgyz literature and recipient of the most prestigious awards, writes his prose. His books have been translated into dozens of languages. They have become part of the treasure trove of world literature.
The novellas of Ch. Aitmatov are, above all, about humanity and what results from its absence. About nature and the animal world, which is closely intertwined with the world of humans, dependent and vulnerable to violence and cruelty, yet generously rewarding those who treat it with care, and protecting and looking after such people. About the fact that the moral measure of an individual is their care for the world rather than themselves, their concern for the younger generation, and the capacity to sacrifice oneself for the life of a child, thereby blessing the continued life of one's lineage.
This edition includes the novella-parables "The White Ship" and "Spotted Dog Running Along the Seashore".
