A prize-winning poem by Moldovan author, Ludmila Dubcovetcaia,

The latest book by the Tajik author, Gulsifat Shahidi brings
together a selection of articles, reviews and interviews. From
reminiscences about her youth during Soviet times to meditations on
the nature of nostalgia and what constitutes a true homeland,
Shahidi's thought-provoking articles are filled with a bright
sadness, fused at once with both joy and an aching sense of
melancholy. In her reviews, the author's boundless enthusiasm leaps
from the pages, whilst her interviews with important figures from
contemporary Tajik history are characterised by an open dialogue
which speaks to her mastery of the art of journalism. The recipient
of awards for her work in promoting peace and conflict resolution,
Gulsifat Shahidi's novel, The City Where Dreams Come True won first
prize at the Open Eurasia International Literary Festival in 2015.
The prolific author of over forty titles in her native Tajik and
Russian, this collection represents Shahidi's sixth book to be
translated into English.
Everyone loves fairy tales, both adults and children, and in this
book each person will find something both attractive and
instructive. In this volume, the heroes of these fairy tales: a
wounded dove which refuses to surrender, a tricky monkey called
Cutie, an old-time doll named Alyonushka, a naive lamb, a young
wolf which does not want to grow bloodthirsty, and other animals
will tell their stories to you, my friends and readers.
Through her childhood reminiscences, Zinaida Longortova brings to
life a remote region in far-northern Russia. Extrapolating the
folklore and mythology of the Khanty people from her experiences -
set around the simple story of a wounded elk calf - the author
explores the bonds between humans and nature. Yet whilst this is a
novella about a little known indigenous group, the narrative
succeeds in harnessing powerful emotions which speak to us all. A
timeless story, at once both joyful and melancholy, Blue River is a
beguiling tale for all age groups.
