Nikolai Semenovich Leskov - an original Russian writer, whose talent of the narrator did not have equal, was able to show a Russian person without embellishment, but with great love and understanding. The fairy tale "Leftha" is one of the peaks of the writer's work. The story of how “the British made a flea from the steel, and our Tulas knocked it out, but they sent them back” - a real anthem to work and the Russian craftsman. Nowadays, the Tula weapons master Levsha has become the hero of several adaptations, cartoons and even operas. And the legendary group of artists Kukryniks in the 1970s created a small masterpiece-illustrations to match the exact, bright, figurative language of Leskov.
