Whiskers, Feathers, and Tails. Stories by Russian Writers about Animals

The book includes works by outstanding Russian writers: Anton Chekhov, Alexander Kuprin, Mikhail Prishvin, Dmitry Mamin-Siberiak, and Konstantin Ushinsky. Eleven fascinating stories are dedicated to animals and birds. The classics of Russian literature were able to understand not only people but also our smaller brothers with great sensitivity. Moreover, there is much in common between the habits and behavior of humans and other living beings. As Alexander Kuprin said: “Never believe what you are told bad about animals.” After all, this arises solely from our misunderstanding and inattention to our furry and feathered neighbors. Each story in this collection tells of amazing events from the lives of animals, the reasons for their actions, and teaches us to love and cherish nature.
The book will make an excellent gift for young readers who are interested in animals and strive to understand them better.
