Description

The two mystical stories featured in this book were written by two well-known Belarusian authors who hid under pseudonyms.

“In summer, the ghosts in Minsk disappear because of the lack of moisture in the air. It’s hot and dry – there’s no big river,” – writes Paŭlina Kot. However, in the humid air of apartment number zero, the heroine of her story constantly feels a foreign presence from which one can shudder in the middle of the night. Who has looked into this “Stalinist apartment” next to the GUM before?

In Tafila Bahač’s novel, two pairs of eyes carefully observe people in the Belarusian province, and the observers draw their own conclusions. Such quiet and so inconspicuous creatures. Although black hair grows on their backs – they remain close neighbors of villagers for a long time without being noticed by anyone.

The country where the fate of the two stories takes place is already dissolving into the mists of time. What will we remember about it?
