| Description | Children of Mine is a novel by Guzel Yakhina, one of the most remarkable literary discoveries in contemporary Russian literature and winner of the Big Book and Yasnaya Polyana awards for her bestselling debut Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes.
The Volga region, the 1920s–1930s. Jakob Bach is a Russian German and a schoolteacher in the colony of Gnadental. Having long withdrawn from the outside world, he lives on a secluded farmstead, raising his only daughter, Anche, and writing magical tales that begin to come true in wondrous and tragic ways. Children of Mine is a bold and profound exploration of the inner world of a Russian German. A deep attachment to the great Volga River and the beliefs associated with it — rooted in the steppe, pagan traditions and a strangely naïve worldview marked by Kalmyk influences — coexist with religious faith and the dark beauty of German folklore. It is the story of one seemingly small and private life, through which Soviet reality is perceived through the “mythological lens” of inherited folklore and culture. |
