This is an automatically translated description

Montreal in the mid-thirties of the last century. Crisis. High unemployment, especially among immigrants. People are being thrown out of their apartments for non-payment of rent. Mammoth resists this eviction and dies from a police bullet near his belongings, which had already been taken out into the street. The sad fate of Mammoth - Mykyta Zinchuk, an unemployed Ukrainian who came to a foreign country to seek a better life - became the subject of an important socio-historical novel by Pierre Samson.

«Mammoth» is a journey through time, a perfect combination of fiction and real facts, a story about real people endowed with passionate feelings, ready to face the challenges of their time. It is a story that immerses us in the cosmopolitan Montreal of the time, with its depression, poverty, tensions between religions and cultures, and active communist movements.

Pierre Samson dedicated his story to «people who resist». This is a story about us. Ukrainians.
