Injuditory Russians. Stories and pictures from nature. Leikin N.A.

N.A. Leikin is a famous writer of the late XIX - early XX centuries, famous for his sharp, stinging satire, denouncing the customs of modern Russian society. However, he never lowered the heroes of his works to one -dimensional cartoons. All of them are living people, and these images are now guessing in our environment. Of course, the classes have gone the past, and now not to meet on the street neither a merchant, nor a clerk, nor a peasant, nor a state adviser, but the Russian mentality and a special national character are inherent in both our ancestors and us.

the lifestyle of the Russians of the past and the centuries before last is sometimes elusive, and sometimes very vividly resembles our compatriots now, in the 21st century. Leikin’s talent is not limited to satire: in this collection, the works of joy are interwoven with a tragic, funny with sad - laughter through tears, as in life.
