Quiet Morning. Tales

Yuri Kazakov 1927–1982 – an acclaimed Russian prose writer and screenwriter. Critics described Yuri Kazakov – a master of the small genre – as a worthy successor to Bunin and Chekhov. His short stories reveal deep and touching narratives. Nothing foreshadows trouble on a quiet early morning when two boys – rural Yashka and city-born Volodya – set out for 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 angling: inexperienced Volodya is just bustling about and getting in the way. The boys have no idea how their trip to the pond will end. The collection also includes the stories "Dumb Chik," "Arctur – the Hound Dog," "Teddy," and others.
