About the book: 1983 / Evgeny Gushchin strives to understand important and difficult issues. Let's say a mine arose on the site of a taiga village, and commercial hunters became miners. This phenomenon is progressive, but how did it affect the life of the mountain region; Are there any costs here that it would be better to do without? - the author reflects in the story “The Roundup”. The hero E. Gushchin cannot be content with personal well-being, be it foreman Tabakov (“House under the Bird Cherry”) or chairman Gorev (“Indian Field”), such a hero is certainly a man for the people. The stories included in the book testify to the exacting, uncompromising position of the writer - features that are organic to his work.
