From the darkness of centuries download pdf. The book "Out of the Dark Ages"

There are stories that no one knows. There are nations that not many people know about. But this does not mean that these peoples have nothing to tell - most often it is just the opposite. What a miracle this book is. The book is not only a friend and a storehouse of knowledge; a book is also a guide, an intermediary, a companion. Books are good and not very good, and there are books that open up a new world for you. Because of this discovery, the book will remain in the memory for a long time - after all, there are few such books. And the book of the Ingush writer Idrisa Bazorkina From the darkness of ages is one of those books.

"He who cannot look into his future will not find anything in his past"

From the darkness of ages is an epic novel about the life of the Galgais from the sixties of the nineteenth century until the formation of the Soviet Union. The author himself says this about the book:

“This book is not an encyclopedia of the life of the Ingush people over the past century. It will deal with the formation of a personality, the struggle of characters in the context of significant historical events, and the people who created this story.

What can I say about the book ... I read it for three days (and three nights) - I didn’t feel like sleeping at all. For several nights I began to have dreams related to the plot of the novel. From this you can guess how impressed I was with the book. Idris Bazorkin wrote his main work in Russian, so I was lucky to read the original. The language of the novel is very beautiful, bright, lively, emotional - what is the poem at the beginning of the book worth... The same can be said about the plot of the book and its characters. Particularly impressed by the main character of the novel - Kaloy. I will say more: this is one of the best characters in fiction that I happened to "know". Strong, kind, generous, brave, fair, handsome... the author spared no good qualities for his protagonist. And even though he seemed too strong, and sometimes his exploits were like a fairy tale - this is the kind of hero needed for a novel that tells about a whole people. It seems to me that Kaloy is all the best that is in the Ingush people - he absorbed all the best of their qualities. Describing several Ingush families, their friendship (and enmity), their way of life and traditions, the writer was able to convey the character of the whole people. Most importantly, tell their story. Although this is a historical novel (which is very difficult for me), this book was easy to read from the very beginning. Very, well, very interesting and unusual plot! I feel like I lived with this book for days. And what epic, but at the same time simple characters in this book!.. The fate of each of them is unusual and difficult.

The people about whom you knew practically nothing before become so close ... so understandable. And you already once again understand that there are so many wonderful things in the World! So many interesting and not like you people, peoples! People who are different from you, who have experienced and are experiencing the same thing as you. I consider the author's love for his people, which was felt in his words, and his knowledge of history, of course, to be an absolute plus of the book.

“Yes,” said Inaluk with a sigh, “Allah gave all the mind on earth to Christians!”

“But in the next world we will forever be in paradise, and they will be in hell!” replied Kaloy.

“We know nothing about this…” Inaluk said thoughtfully.

- How do you not know? And the Quran?

“Very simple,” said Inaluk. — This is the car I just saw and touched. And what in the next world, we will know when we die. But it seems to me that whoever on earth invents such things as this cart, on which a whole aul with things and cattle can leave at one time, will invent something good for himself in the next world!

“With me, I beg you, don’t talk like that,” Kaloy said seriously. “This is the beginning of disbelief. And all our troubles are only because of him.

Inaluk did not object to him.

(excerpt from a book)

Now I doubt the objectivity of my assessment of the novel, and it even seems to me that I would write even more enthusiastic words (although this seems impossible to you, I know) about this book if it were not for her ending. But I understand the author - he released the book during a time of strict censorship. But, nevertheless, I believe that the book could have ended in a completely different way ... that is, from a different angle. What a pity... yesterday it seemed to me that this is one of the best books I've read, but today, having read the book to the end, I no longer think so. The book is amazing, colorful, yes, but the ending of the book is sacred to me. And a bad ending can diminish even those impressions; the huge sympathy that I felt for the main character. ...Well, that's just the ending - and it's just a few pages at the end. All other pages of the book are worthy of your attention. I would even say that everyone who is interested in the world and people should read this book.

Amazing book... 10 out of 10.

PS.... A people's life is immortal, Whatever happens to him.

... And the life of the people is immortal, Whatever happens to him.

Nikolay Tikhonov.

ZAPEV Snowy peaks,
rock masses,
from the creation of the world
in chaos rising to the sky,
dense forests,
boiling streams of noisy rivers,
meadows engulfed in a rainbow of blooms
and the scent of herbs
and a proud man
ready to die for friendship,
honor, freedom,
all this from time immemorial
called in the poetry of the people
country of epics
and the name - the Caucasus!
in many languages
sounds like human speech.
A brotherhood of many nations lives here.
When did they come, where did they come from and why?
No one is going to answer this.
Or maybe they've been here forever?
Among the spurs of the mountains there is Blue Lake in Chechnya.
The stars are bathing there, and the moon,
and dawn - with the onset of dawn.
The reflection of the ancients drowned in it ...
On its hidden shores
scientists have found
site of primitive settlers.
At hearths lit by lightning,
silhouettes froze in the darkness of centuries...
What did they see?
What seemed to them
the fate of future generations?
They are silent. No answer.
Only speculation about the past tells ...
That was twenty thousand years ago!
Or maybe it was our ancestors?
Strabo and Pliny; Moses Korean
left names for the world
people who were once in the Caucasus.
And through the mists of three millennia
names of our peoples have risen.
For centuries we have inherited the rocks,
on these rocks - stone towers,
burial grounds of the silent dead...
Where is the imprint of a human brush,
where the sun is a sign - the movement of the world is a symbol,
where is the turium horn on the faded walls
we were told sparingly about our ancestors.
But there was another keeper of secrets - language!
Always alive and strong
not subject to decay or battles
the wise tongue of my people.
In it is the memory of past days
and the song of the nightingale.
It preserved the myth about Teishabine,
a tale about Batu - the grandson of Genghis Khan -
and about the battles with Timur Khromy,
conquered the world, but not these mountains!
The language told me how difficult it was for grandfathers,
like their courage and love for freedom
we continued life until these days ...
And yet the unliterate people are almost dumb.
So he was from the creation of the world
before this century on earth.
And now our age has come -
century of triumph of progress,
a claim of thoughts of bright, joyful hopes!
From now on
our people will have no secrets.
Legends won't die for the future
tragedy, victory and love.
The sign of the times is different. Another life flows.
Whoever looks closely sees a lot.
Whoever listens, speaks at the same time.
I lengthened the years - the old people.
They took me to yesterday.
By tomorrow
we leave together
following,
leaving this story
About,
how the people came out of darkness.

Chapter first

The setting sun has whitened the rocks of Tsey-Loma, which wall around tiny terraces of arable land. In the middle of these lands rises a stone block. Hundreds, and perhaps thousands of years ago, it broke away from the mountain and froze here, halfway to the abyss, crushing an entire mountain field under it. Songs were written about her in the old days. But time left people only the legend that this rock in anger brought down the great sledge Seska-Solsa on his enemies. So it is called - the rock of Seska Solsa.

The month of the cuckoo was coming to an end, and the highlanders were preparing for field work. Autumn showers, winter snow landslides cause stones on arable land and meadows. Without removing them, you can neither plow nor mow. And for the third day now, Dawley has been walking up the slope and dragging the stones to the edge of the field, where, over the centuries, whole mounds have grown from such stones. When it is a long way to the mound, Dawley lays stones on the edge of the boundary, leveling the low side of the terrace. The third day she is at work alone, because the meat harvested in the fall has run out, barley flour is running out and her husband has gone into the blue rocks, to the snowy peaks, to get the tour or chamois.

Dawley was tired, the stones scratched her hands. My back hurts, and there is still so much work ahead! They have to fertilize their plots this year. For three years, Dawley had been collecting manure, and now she had to carry it in baskets and scatter it on arable land. Otherwise, the earth will not give birth.

All this was normal for her. But now Dawley was expecting a baby. Sometimes the work fell out of hand. She was afraid to pick up large stones from the ground. After all, the gods have already taken two children to themselves. The husband reproached for the fact that there is no heir.

Five years ago, when the tsar ordered the Ingush to be driven out of their flat auls back into the mountains, Dowley, along with others, came here to these grandfather's bare towers. The house and everything that they had remained in the village of Angusht, surrounded by green gardens. And here I had to lift not only manure, but also earth onto the fields. There was no one to look after the children. In the first year, they barely harvested what they sowed. Winter in the tower, like in a stone bag, then - hunger ... The children weakened. And when in the spring they had to get food for themselves in the forest, there are different herbs, they withered and died one by one.

Since then, Dawley has had no children. Her husband, who became a Muslim when he was a child, somehow brought her water heaped from the mullah, bought an amulet, but nothing helped. The old women explained this by the fact that the “change of life” spoiled her, and advised her to turn to the help of local gods. Doley obeyed. She secretly went to the village of Kek, where in front of the fertility temple of the divine Tusholi stood a stone pillar - a sign of male strength. She pushed a triangular cake with the image of a cross into the window of the temple and lit a homemade candle in a niche, then, falling on her knees in front of a stone statue, showed him her bare chest and begged to send children. And here is the fruit of her prayer, her hope lives in her heart.
