About the book: year / Gray houses with black holes of broken windows scratch the gloomy sky. Lampposts stood level with the weeds, and skeletons of buses and cars were scattered on the cluttered streets with red rust stains. The city died, and it happened so long ago that now no one will remember its name. Zaitan the Vagabond is a seeker; he, like other residents of fortress-villages, goes to the city to fish. Animals and bandits hide in dilapidated houses. Searchers climb into attics, go down into basements, collect everything that may be useful for life in their settlements.
