| Description: |
"Dazzling . . . Makes the alluring ordinary, the ordinary alluring."--TIME |
| Synopsis: |
Taken from his ancestral home--and haunted by the recent onset of visions--the adolescent Dshurukawaa reunites with his siblings at a boarding school, where his brother also serves as principal. There he attempts to mediate the pull of spirituality and pragmatism, old ways and new, but quickly comes to understand that the main purpose of the school is to strip the Tuvans of their language and traditions and to make them conform to communist party ideals. Soon he and his family are at odds with the system, placing his brother in danger. When tragedy strikes, Dshurukawaa begins to sense the larger import of his visions, and with it a possible escape. A second sweeping novel in the saga of the shepherd boy introduced by Tuvan author and shaman Galsan Tschinag in The Blue Sky, The Gray Earth is an unforgettable read, marked by Tschinag's lyrical language and striking evocation of a singular way of life. |
