The Adventures of Vasya Kurolessov. The Underdog

Once upon a time, Vasya Kurolessov – an ordinary young man from the Moscow region village of Sychy – decided to buy piglets in the district center. Little did he know that this would lead to a whole detective story filled with gunfire, disguise, and surveillance of cunning criminals! The main character of the tale 'The Underdog', a small but brave Arctic fox with the imperial name Napoleon III, also couldn't sit still. One fine day, Napoleon escaped from his warm cage and set off north. He would surely have made it to the very pole if he hadn’t accidentally ended up in the village of Kovyilkino, where many adventures awaited him in the company of new friends. And this is just part of the exciting works of Yuri Koval, included in this collection. Written with subtle humor, sometimes making you laugh to tears, and at times touching you to tears, memorable characters and sharp phrases that have already become winged – even the most sophisticated reader will not get bored.
