About the book: 1989 / The lyrical stories of the people's poet of Bashkiria Mustai Karim are filled with high poetry and philosophical depth. Native nature, people, their customs and morals, folk art “create” the personality, the spiritual world of the main character of the story “A Long, Long Childhood.” The story “Pardon” powerfully draws you into the circle of acute moral problems - a short love story, a romantic story that turns into tragedy. The new story “Village Lawyers” tells about the fate of three old friends of the same age, champions of goodness and justice.».
