Más información sobre el libro

Niketa, a likable and adventurous seventeen-year-old, lived with his wealthy farming family in southwestern Russia during the early 1900s. As the youngest of seven siblings, he was cherished and led a peaceful life until a fateful day when he saved his cousin's life, setting off a chain of events that would alter his existence. Following his brother's betrayal, a serious injury, and the death of a loved one, Niketa felt compelled to run away from his family and the turmoil within himself. Seeking solace and answers, he traveled to Minsk, hoping his grandfather could guide him. On his journey, he encountered William, a young Bolshevik student who had recently escaped from a Russian Gulag. Captivated by William's revolutionary ideals, Niketa found a sense of purpose. However, danger loomed as a relentless Cossack captain, a brutal enforcer from the Gulag, pursued them with deadly intent. While Niketa discovered camaraderie and a potential escape from his troubles, he also faced new challenges, including deeper pain and loss. As he navigated this tumultuous path, Niketa's quest for identity and understanding led him into a world fraught with peril and moral complexity.
