Aventures merveilleuses sous terre et ailleurs de Er-Töshtük, le géant des steppes: épopée du cycle de Manas. Traduit du kirghiz par Pertev Boratav. Introduction et notes de Pertev Boratav et Louis Bazin | 
I've finished the adventures of Er-TƶshtĆ¼k (ie, Manly Chest, as he was named after he outgrew the birth name Snotty Nose), on the Steppes of Central Asia and the underground world. He is very strong and courageous, but a bit dim. Thankfully, he gets a lot of help from his wives, friends, a winged horse, a fairy who's in love with him, a bear, a giant female eagle, etc. š and defeats all his enemies.
Dilara The version I read is a prose translation of the transcript of the traditional verses told by famous storyteller Sayakbay Karalaev (pictured here with a man who looks like he could be Chinghiz Aitmatov) 2y
