A wonderful novel with archaic soul, full of majestic descriptions that enrich the story of Khazars, placed in the late 8th and early 9th century. Another interesting and unusual thing about this book is that it comes in two different editions: ''male'' and ''female''. The difference is made by one passage in a single paragraph. Symbolically, as the author himself stated, Khazars represent Serbian people. Pavić was nominated for the Nobel Prize.
