Horse with a Pink Mane. Stories

Viktor Petrovich Astafyev (1924-2001) - a Russian writer who sincerely loved his homeland. His works are permeated with pain and bitter memories, suffering from the fact that people live unjustly, ruining both nature and themselves, and the soul within them.... They make our souls work, harden them, teach us to appreciate the happy moments of life, distinguish between good and evil, see baseness and not be afraid to call black - black.
The stories included in this book tell about country childhood, about friends and relatives, about the writer's beloved grandmother. You read them - and you see the world of real life, without embellishments, without concealments… And after reading, you can't help but ponder: are we really living this way?
For junior and middle school age.
