Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka

One of the best works of classical domestic literature. A book that has been equally loved by readers of all ages for almost two centuries. Pushkin himself wrote with admiration about this collection: «Here is true cheerfulness, sincere, unforced, without affectation, without primness. And at times what poetry!..» Before us comes to life the amazing world of Ukrainian folklore – a world of mermaids, witches, ghosts, demons, and devils. A world where the most astonishing, and sometimes terrifying events are described with soft and cunning, typically Ukrainian humor, and coexist with a vividly depicted peasant life of the 19th century.
