Mebet

Immerse yourself in the haunting and mythic world of the Arctic with Mebet by Alexander Grigorenko, translated by Christopher Culver. This compelling narrative follows Mebet, a Nenets hunter revered as "The Gods’ Favorite," who seems immune to harm and grief. His life of seeming invincibility is upended when a supernatural messenger leads him to confront the realms of the living and the dead. Dubbed the Nenets Lord of the Rings, Mebet blends ethnographic detail, indigenous mythology, and the snowy landscapes of the Arctic into a dark and terrifying fantasy. Praised for its depth and vibrancy, this epic tale explores themes of humanity, personal fate, and responsibility against the backdrop of the far northern Russian taiga. Discover a story that is both profound and thrilling, marking a significant event in Nenets literature.
