This book is about a village and village people who have preserved their souls and hearts in the most difficult life situations. For whom the measure of values is not money, but the joy of human communication. A boy with a knapsack is an image of national memory and continuity that the heroes carry, just as the legendary Russian hero Mikula Selyaninovich once carried “all the weight of the earth” in his knapsack. The story of the same name covers the history of the village’s development over a hundred years, tracing the life of the Zhityev family since 1916 with all the twists and turns of the Civil War, the NEP, and dispossession. “The Birth of Fire” tells about gas-producing geologists, about life in the taiga in the north of the Ob, about a fight with a bear, and tests of strength. In the story “Zemun the Cow,” the heroes fight wolves, protecting the village herd. "Snandulya" is a story about returning to a small homeland, to an abandoned village where a wolf pack rules. The book also includes selected stories.
