    About this ebook

    Mongol [mong-gohl], noun, 1. a member of a pastoral people now living chiefly in Mongolia. 2. (offensive) a person affected with Down’s Syndrome. Uuganaa is a Mongol living in Britain, far from the world she grew up in: as a nomadic herder she lived in a yurt, eating marmot meat, distilling vodka from goat's yoghurt and learning about Comrade Lenin. When her new-born son Billy is diagnosed with Down’s Syndrome, she finds herself facing bigotry and taboo as well as heartbreak. In this powerful memoir, Uuganaa skilfully interweaves the extraordinary story of her own childhood in Mongolia with the sadly short life of Billy, who becomes a symbol of union and disunion, cultures and complexity, stigma and superstition – and inspires Uuganaa to challenge prejudice. Mongol is the touching story of one woman's transformation from outsider to fearless champion of love, respect and tolerance. It's a moving tribute by a remarkable woman to her beloved baby son, testifying to his lasting impact on a sometimes imperfect world.

    Зохиогчийн тухай Пүрэвдоржийн Ууганбаяр нь Ууганаа Рамзий гэдэг нэрээрээ Монгол хэмээх намтар зохиолоо бичжээ. 'Монгол' ном нь 2014 онд худалдаанд гарч Англи хэлээр эхний ээлжинд уншигчдын гар дээр очжээ. Шотландын Зохиолчдын хорооноос Ууганаагийн энэхүү номыг үнэлэн, бодит амьдралаас сэдэвлэн бичсэн зохиолын төрөлд тэргүүн байрын шагнал олгожээ. Мөн тэрээр Европын монголчуудын “Шилдэг уран бүтээлч эмэгтэй” болон Шотландын Тэргүүн сайд Никола Слөржинөөс “Амжилтанд хүрсэн ази эмэгтэй” шагналуудыг тус тус хүртсэн байна. Уг номыг хэвлэгдсэнээс хойш Ууганаагийн санаачилгаар Английн BBC "Монгол хэмээх үгийн утга учир" нэртэй баримтат нэвтрүүлгийг зохиогчтой хамтран бэлтгэж, олон улсад цацжээ. Мөн энэ сэдвээр бичсэн зохиогчийн нийтлэл англи, испани, португал зэрэг хэлээр орчуулагдан гарсан байна. Түүнчлэн энэхүү ном нь 2016 онд Тайланд улсад тай хэлээр орчуулагдан хэвлэгджээ. Ууганаагийн Монголоо гэсэн дуу хоолой нь НҮБ-д хүрч, тэрээр Нью-Иорк хот дахь Монгол Улсын Байнгын төлөөлөгчийн газартай хамтран Дэлхийн эрүүл мэндийн байгууллагын төлөөлөл оролцсон уулзалт, хэлэлцүүлгийг зохион байгуулсан юм. Ууганаа Монгол үндэстнийг гутаасан буруу нэршил, доромж хандлагыг бүрэн халах талаар ном бичихийн зэрэгцээ Английн BBC зэрэг дэлхийн хэвлэл мэдээллийн байгууллагатай хамтран ажиллах, нийтлэл нэвтрүүлэг бэлтгэн дамжуулах, ДЭМБ болон бусад байгууллагын анхааралд өөрийн хөндсөн асуудлаа хүргэх, НҮБ ын радиод ярилцлага өгөх зэргээр олон улсын хэмжээнд уйгагүй ажилласаар байгаа юм.
