"And the Day Lasts Longer Than a Hundred Years" is one of Chingiz Aitmatov's most popular novels.

The main character is Edigey, a switchman at the Boranly-Buranny railway siding. On either side of the railway in these harsh lands lie boundless steppes, and here, besides the main character, lives only his best friend, Kazangap. When Kazangap dies, Edigey decides to bury him in the old cemetery Ana-Beyit - "Mother's Rest", - shrouded in many legends and tales. However, on the site of the cemetery, where many generations of his ancestors rest, a spaceport surrounded by barbed wire has already been built with a guard at the gates...

"And the Day Lasts Longer Than a Hundred Years" is a complex novel in its composition, in which myth and reality, present and past are intertwined.
