New e-book: At the Well, Stepan Zoryan
Published on
During the First World War, on the Austrian front, soldiers of a Russian company suffer from the summer heat and thirst in their positions. A nearby well separates the two enemy armies, yet the need for water briefly brings people together. The encounter between Baghdasar and the Austrian soldiers reveals the common humanity of those living on opposite sides of the borders. Subsequent events show how dangerous compassion can be when war demands blind obedience.
