Тавро Кассандры. Пегий пес, бегущий краем моря

Chingiz Aitmatov 0 is one of the greatest Russian writers of the twentieth century, an author whose versatility of talent defies description. The pen of this brilliant prose writer is equally subject to realistic and fantastic prose, parables and dystopia, memoirs, journalistic and historical literature. Moreover, Aitmatov’s imagination creates the most unusual and bizarre combinations of these genres - works of postmodern depth and sophistication.

"Cassandra Brand". A dystopia that is in no way inferior to the most famous works of this genre... A dark, powerful and deep story about humanity deprived of a future. Children who are born, foreseeing their fate... Their mothers, marked with the mysterious "brand of Cassandra"...

"A piebald dog running by the edge of the sea." The story is based on mythological motifs. The action takes place during the time of the Great Fish - a woman, the ancestor of the human race.
