Аннотация:

In 1941 a Belarusian soldier and an Italian girl escape the Nazi concentration camp. The soldier tries to get rid of the girl; she is a burden and is slowing him down. But she is also a native and knows the territory and the Alps where they eventually find their shelter. Somewhere along the way the two develop feelings for each other but their love is not destined to grow beyond the edge of the mountains. Yet, their emotional bond cannot be denied and years after the war something happens…

From the master of psychological narrative whose firsthand experience with World War II enabled him to re-create the ordeal on pages of his books, Alpine Ballad is Vasil Bykau’s most heartfelt story. Bykau sends a powerful message to his readers: human values can be extrapolated and in the context of war people can still uphold their humanity.
