The end of the 19th century. The Russian Empire is expanding to the east, and the influence of the Russian Geographical Society is also growing. The famous traveler and naturalist Nikolai Przhevalsky undertakes several successful expeditions to Central Asia. One day, he comes across an unusual artifact — the severed hand of a zheztyrnak, a mythical creature with remarkable abilities and cunning. Meanwhile, the young cadet Askhat, fascinated by the contents of Przhevalsky's travelogues, receives a dangerous assignment, not yet knowing what will be more useful to him: the knowledge he gained during his studies, or that gleaned from fairy tales and legends. Highlights is a witty adventure fantasy based on Kazakh fairy tales; real historical figures interact with ancient fairy-tale undead; the author is a popularizer of Kazakh fantasy.
