Quiet Morning. Tales

Yuri Kazakov 1927–1982 – a famous Russian prose writer, screenwriter. Critics called Yuri Kazakov – a master of the small genre – a worthy successor to Bunin and Chekhov. His short stories reveal deep and touching narratives. Nothing foreshadows trouble on an early quiet morning when two boys – village Yashka and city-dweller Volodya – are getting ready to go fishing. This is how Y. Kazakov's story "Quiet Morning" begins. Yashka knows everything about fishing, but his friend from Moscow is completely new to fishing: inexperienced Volodya only fusses and stumbles underfoot. The boys have no idea how their trip to the pond will end. The collection also includes stories "Silly Chik", "Arktur – the Hound", "Teddy" and others.
