The Little Things in Life

Behind the Book:

The Little Things in Life offers glimpses into the biography of renowned Kazakhstani film director Ermek Tursunov – told in his own words. The pages cover his childhood memories and details of ‘cinematic cuisine’. They capture the spirit of an entire era – an era populated by giants of the soul and dwarfs of vanity. This book is reminiscent of that very red pill in the hands of Morpheus – from The Matrix, bestseller film by the Wachowski brothers – the pill that breaks the illusion and reveals a deeper reality. It challenges clichés, dismantles false beliefs, and jolts the mind out of inertia. 

Still, as Tursunov himself notes: he’s responsible for what he writes, but not for how you interpret it. The Little Things in Life is written for a broad audience.
