The History of One City. The Golenov Family. Tales

The works of M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin hold a special place in the history of Russian literature. His satire resonated with all significant events in public life, mercilessly condemning vices, exposing lies and the moral decline of the era of the... «great reforms». However, the works of Saltykov-Shchedrin, written in response to the issues of his time, paradoxically do not lose their relevance. This edition includes the novels «The History of One City» and «The Golenov Family» as well as tales. The texts are published with illustrations by Mikhail Kupriyanov, Porfiry Krylov, and Nikolai Sokolov — outstanding Russian artists who worked together under the creative pseudonym Kukryniksy, as well as Nikolai Kuzmin.
