The Lost Childhood: A True Kazakh Journey - Paperback

Some stories carry the weight of a whole landscape -- the Kazakh steppe, the silence of an orphaned childhood, the invisible thread between a boy and the natural world around him. Akberen Yelgezek's memoir-in-spirit traces one life shaped by hardship, mysticism, and the quiet resilience passed down through culture and place.
