Аннотация

This collection of the myths and tales of Yuri Rytkheu's own shaman father is both a moving history of a community of survivors and a beautiful, fantastic cautionary tale. Beginning with Nau, the mother of the human race; Rau, her half-whale husband; and the evil spirit Armagirgin, who attempts to destroy nature's harmony by pitting the two against each other, The Chukchi Bible moves through Arctic tundra, sea, and sky - and beyond - introducing readers to an extraordinary mythology rendered in hauntingly poetic prose.
