Farewell, Gul'sary! | Chingiz A?tmatov

Gul'sary means buttercup. This beautiful golden stallion used to be the fastest in his part of Kyrgyzstan (or the USSR state of Kyrgyzia as it was then), but now, he is old and dying, as is his human (owner is not the right word, as a) he is quite independent and b) collectivisation). Chingiz Aitmatov is one of my favourite authors, so I have high hopes for this novel 🐎
