The winner of competition "The best books of year"
Historical
novel
Immortality
Akhoulgo
The
novel makes unusual impression. It is to be re-read again and again. Each event
opens a new side of that grandiose drama.
From
literary advantages of the novel «Akhoulgo» I shall note magnificent style and
possession of a word exciting fascinating plot, bright images, characteristic
types of that epoch.
In XIX
century the artist F.Rubo has created a picture - panorama « Storm of Akhoulgo»,
which has brought to him world popularity. The brush of the large artist has
created surprisingly picturesque and highly tragic product. The novel of Shapi
Kaziev I involuntarily compare with a panorama of Rubo. But I think, that talented
writer has glanced much further than horizon of a picturesque panorama.
