Heroic Legends of the Shors: Qara Qaan, Qara Sabak. IBT, Moscow, 2014.

The Institute for Bible Translation has published the book "Heroic Legends of the Shors: Qara Qaan, Qara Sabak" with a parallel translation in Russian. The book was written by the philological editor of the Shor Bible translation project L. N. Arbachakova. The poetic works found in this book are examples of oral epic art of the Shors, an indigenous minority people group, residing in southern Kemerovskaya Oblast. In 2010, they numbered 12,888 people, according to the census. The Shor language belongs to the Khakas sub-group of the Uyghur-Oghuz group of Turkic languages. Today the vibrant story-telling culture of the Sayan-Altai people has practically disappeared, but L. Arbachakova has been able to make unique recordings of heroic legends performed by the last representative of the Lower Mrassu story-telling school V. E. Tannagashev (1932-2007).
