Rasputin, Valentin (Распутин, Валентин Григорьевич) "Farewell to Matyora" (Russian: Прощание с Матёрой/Proschanie s Materoj) - 1976
A wonderful account of what development and progression can do to people. Matyora is a village in Siberia, a village like there are millions in this world. Or, in this case, it has been. The government decides to build a dam and float the whole area.

The first book I ever owned. Heidi grows up with her grandfather in the Swiss Alps.
