Russian Forest

The works captivate with the special intonation with which the author narrates familiar and seemingly ordinary phenomena of native nature. After all, these are his own impressions from travels, where Ivan Sokolov-Mikitov was a sailor, a hunter, and a warrior. Nature gave him strength in trials and difficulties. And he poured his love for it into stories and novellas. The writer's early texts were appreciated by Bunin and Kuprin. And today they will introduce a new generation of readers to the vast surrounding world. The collection was illustrated by Olga Tsurina, developing the plots accurately and tenderly.
