About the book: year / The first Nivkh writer Vladimir Sangi, author of the novel "The False Rush", the stories "Izgin", "The Seven-Feathered Bird" and a number of collections of stories and poems, pays a lot of attention to the cultural heritage of his small four thousand people - his epic. There is probably no village or camp on Sakhalin that the tireless researcher has not visited. In winter - on dogs, in summer - on boats, and more often - on foot, he makes his way to the most remote camps of hunters and fishermen, where almost every second old man is a storyteller. The writer brings backpacks full of observations and ancient legends with him from every trip. This book is the first large work written based on Nivkh folklore. The widest reader will find a lot of interesting things in this book..
