The novel of Chingiza of Aitmatov "And day lasts longer than a century..." offers the reader an universal concept of a life and a person. The writer-thinker tries to capture all immensity of a life and the universe: from the fox, that has traveled to railroad tracks, to other galaxies which got contact to earth dwellers. But in the centre of all is a man, the person, the soul inside which a boon and an evil make its immemorial struggle.
