Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka

Gift format. Hard cover with embossed elements and partial varnish. Original, festive design. Thick paper. Clear large print. Full-color illustrations.
The book includes five stories by N. V. Gogol from the world-famous collection "Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka": "The Night... Before Christmas", "An Evening on the Eve of Ivan Kupala", "May Night, or The Drowned Woman", "The Lost Letter", "The Enchanted Place". Captivating stories filled with exciting, mystical events that either warn the reader against dealing with witches and sorcerers or make one laugh at the antics of brave fellows who deftly outwit evil spirits. And the unfortunate suitor-demon, forced to carry a sturdy blacksmith on his back, sometimes even evokes sympathy.
The witty, lyrical tales of N. V. Gogol have repeatedly become a literary basis for films, animated cartoons, audio plays, and musicals.
The vivid color of ancient legends, poetic descriptions of nature, and expressive images of heroes are magnificently reflected in the bright, stylish, realistic illustrations by Moscow artist Elena Shafranskaya.
