Translated Titles
Galsan Tschinag
Die graue Erde
Mit großem Einfühlungsvermögen erzählt der deutsch schreibende Mongole Galsan Tschinag vom Leben der Tuwa, einem turksprachigen kleinen Stamm in der Mongolei. Wir reisen mit seinem Roman in den Altai, zu seinen Ails und Jurten. Tschinag läßt seine Kindheit lebendig werden und schildert, wie ein kleiner Junge - trotz aller Widerstände - den Schamanen in sich entdeckt.
