This book is the first attempt to publish folk epos in a literary way. Life, thoughts and goals of the Erzya and the Moksha peoples of the past are described in a poetic form in the book. Through epic characters the author discloses culture, social interrelations, customs and traditions of people, their struggle for national independence, which makes this epos a kind of the Mordovian people’s biography.
