About Fedot the Archer, the Daring Young Man

The enormous creative potential of Leonid Filatov, which did not find an outlet on theatrical stages or film sets, was expressed in the need to write. It started with cabarets and various parodies, and then… I – a bookish and theatrical person, – Leonid Alekseevich always said about himself. A witty poet and publicist, actor, film director, People's Artist of the Russian Federation, whose work captivated contemporaries and continues to evoke strong feelings. The fairy tale by L. Filatov About Fedot the Archer, the Daring Young Man can rightfully be called one of the brightest works of the 20th century. It is the best book for family reading, half of the text of which has already been dissected into aphorisms, quotes, and anecdotes. Characteristic characters, incredible mise-en-scènes, unusually structured actions. This edition also includes poems from different years by Leonid Filatov.
