Shardik - Adams R.

For the first time in Russian - a classic novel from the author of the international super-bestseller "Inhabitants of the Hills." The novel is truly epic in scope, and Adams himself called this book the most beloved in all his work. The action begins on the island of Ortelga - the far the edge of the powerful Beklan Empire. The Ortelgi people worship God in bearish guise and believe that one day the Shardik power of God will return to rescue them from years of exile. And then one day a young hunter Kelderek on the title Play-with-Children finds a gigantic bear. Confident that this beast is none other than Shardik, he is decided on the seemingly impossible. Ahead of him - the battle for the empire, and the throne of the king-priest, and unexpected love, and the painful search for himself.
