    Summary note
    In this passionate tale, unfolded with the force of the great folk epics, Memed is brought up as a serf to a vindictive overlord. A plan to escape with his beloved is dashed when his master overtakes them and captures the girl. Memed makes for the mountains where he grows in stature from young rebel to bandit hero, the scourge of corrupt oppressors.
