Человек и его окрестности

Fazil Iskander’s books “The Constellation of Kozlotur”, “Day and Night of Chik”, “Under the Shadow of the Walnut”, “Rabbits and Boas”, and especially “Sandro from Chegem”, made the name of their author famous throughout the reading world. He is a laureate of the State Prize and numerous literary awards from around the world. “Man and His Surroundings” is the writer’s new novel. Here are collected together short stories, sometimes cheerful and funny, sometimes sad and tragic, the action of which takes place in the easily recognizable southern city of Mukhus. They are not connected by plot, but are united by the author’s skill and the thought that runs through the book: “the goal of humanity is a good person, and there is no other goal and there cannot be.”
