Summary

"A Jewish child deported to Kazakhstan is saved and adopted by Kasym, an old Kazakh railway-man. Kasym gives him a Kazakh name, Sabyr, that in Kazakh language means humble. The child grows up in the small Kazakh village along with other deportees: Vera, a traitor's wife, and Ezhik, a Polish doctor. As Sashka makes friends with the wild-eyed local kids who live to play pranks on others, he sees a newspaper story about a nationwide contest to find the perfect birthday present for Joseph Stalin"--back cover
