Publisher's Synopsis

The book is set in the vast and wild steppe region of Russia, which is characterized by its harsh climate, sparse population, and nomadic way of life.

The stories are written in a simple and direct style, with a focus on the everyday experiences of the characters.

Throughout the book, Gorki portrays the steppe as a place of both beauty and hardship, where people must rely on their own resourcefulness and resilience to survive. Overall, ""Stories of the Steppe"" is a rich and vivid portrait of a unique and fascinating region, and a celebration of the strength and resilience of the people who call it home.
