Chazeniya. Selected Works

A Captivating Tale of Love and Belonging in the Far East

Embark on an unforgettable journey to the exotic landscapes of the Far East with Uladzimir Karatkevich's poignant novella, "Chazeniya." Set against a backdrop of unique fauna and relict flora, this story unfolds a love unlike any other, a tale that will resonate long after you turn the final page.

Follow Severyn Budrys as he ventures from his native Belarus to a land where even the chipmunks seem to scold unwelcome guests, and leopards prowl around hunting lodges under the cloak of night. Witness the ethereal dance of the giant moth, the "Blue Order Ribbon," drawn to the lamplight, and the secret bloom of the elusive ginseng. And amidst the bare rocks and cliffs, discover the short-lived yet wondrous plant, chazeniya.

But the land is not the only mystery Severyn encounters. Grażyna Arsajła, a woman shrouded in enigma, enters his life, adding another layer of intrigue to this captivating narrative. No matter where Uladzimir Karatkevich's hero wanders – be it to North Africa, the Pacific Ocean, or Scotland – he will always carry the memory of his "blue, blue" Belarus in his heart.
