The talented Belarusian writer Yanka Bryl is known to a wide range of readers for his novels "It's Dawning in the Swamp", "On Bystryanka", "Confusion", stories, miniatures and essays about people of our day. His works have been translated into many languages of the peoples of the USSR and abroad.
The anti-fascist novel "Birds and Nests" by Y. Bryl, which has many facets in contact with other works of Soviet literature about the Second World War, is distinguished by unusual life material, human destiny, which is at the center of the story. A soldier of the former Polish army, a West Belarusian youth Ales Runevich, having been captured by the Germans in September 1939, sees that Germany of 1939-1941, which was simply inaccessible to the gaze of people who were captured or hard labor by the Nazis later, and therefore unfamiliar to the reader by other works of our literature.
Like birds, the captives of the Nazi Reich rush to their nests, to their homeland. Ales managed to escape to his own. He becomes a partisan scout.
