Chingiz Aitmatov. And the day lasts longer than a century... Cassandra's Brand

This edition includes two works by the classic of Russian and Kyrgyz literature, Chingiz Aitmatov, which define different aspects of his creative path: the novels “And the Day Lasts Longer Than a Hundred Years...” and “Cassandra’s Brand.”
"And the Day Lasts Longer Than a Hundred Years..." is a complex collage woven from a historical parable, space fiction, and a tale of the tragic fate of people who live in the endless steppes.
"Cassandra's Brand" is a realistic fantasy about the creation of an "artificial human".
Both works are united not only by the author's distinctive style, which combines elements of Western literature and Eastern epics, but also by their appeal to the eternal themes of the confrontation between good and evil, nature and man, past and future.
