Хлебный вопрос. Юмористические рассказы

In this collection of humorous stories, Nikolai Alexandrovich Leikin touches on themes that are relevant at all times, as well as those characteristic of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These include financial difficulties faced by the characters for... various reasons, and their efforts to cope with difficult life circumstances or simply to become wealthy. There are problems with utilities, the work of servants, and other hired laborers, which interestingly reveal the signs of the times. The goal of most characters in the stories, including the titular "Bread Question", is to successfully marry, and what tricks people do not resort to in order to achieve their desires. The writer with a sharp wit invites readers to immerse themselves in the everyday life of a bygone era and to marvel at human ingenuity.
