Fazil Iskander, the greatest master of modern prose, was born and raised in Abkhazia.
The cycle of stories about Chika is a kind of epic about childhood, which describes the worldview of a child. “Childhood is repeatable,” F. Iskander subtly notes, and it is repeatable “not by external events, but by your attitude to the world.” That is why each reader easily identifies himself with Chick and follows all the vicissitudes of the plot with unflagging interest.
