The events of the story take place almost 800 years ago. The same mountains and valleys, but the gulf of time makes them so far away, as if they were on another planet. The writer immersed himself extremely deeply in the history of Russia in order to transport himself there in his imagination and take the reader with him on this journey. And now each of us can get to the medieval Carpathians for a few hours, face the wind from the mountain tops, smell the smoke from the bonfires and taste the clean spring water.
"Zakhar Berkut" is the pearl of literature that captivates the reader so that it is impossible to tear oneself away. You live with the heroes of their ups and downs, rejoice, grieve and, in the end, turn the last page with regret.
