Set in the mountains of Azerbaijan just after World War II, Akram Aylisli's People and Trees chronicles the wrenching transformation of traditional Azeri society under Soviet rule.

Private land is collectivized; mosques are converted to silk factories or bulldozed to build palaces of culture. The young narrator, Sadyk, fantasizes about striding hand-in-hand with a beautiful girl into the bright, socialist future he's seen on the movie screen. The village women, meanwhile, navigate religious, economic, and social upheaval, including famine and the loss of an entire generation of men to war. Drawing on the rich folkloric traditions of the Caucasus mountains, this timeless collection of tales is the work that put Azerbaijan's greatest living author on the international literary map.
