Okay. Everyday life of the Russian North.

The book contains one of the most significant works of the outstanding Russian writer and thinker Vasily Ivanovich Belov, "Lad. Everyday Life of the Russian North," revealing the spiritual world of the peasant. Russian civilization of the peasant community, family, economy, work and leisure, crafts and arts, customs and language appears in an ideally "harmonious" state, as remembered by history and as seen by the writer. Lad is born from the correct rhythm of the entire cycle of earthly life. The author tactfully combines ethnographic accuracy with moral truth. His speech itself is picturesque, soulful, gently ironic, but always strong, harmonious, clear in concepts and evaluations, always containing appropriate folk expressions, which gives the book exceptional historical and artistic value.
