Lefty

This edition includes Nikolai Leskov’s popular works—“Lefty,” “The Enchanted Wanderer,” and “One Thought.” In his characteristic subtly ironic manner, the writer vividly conveys pictures of Russian life in the 19th century. The book is intended for readers aged 12–16 (grades 6–10).

The “Books for Extracurricular Reading” series brings together a wide range of classical works of Russian and world literature included in the elementary and middle school curriculum. It contains full texts without abridgements: individual works, story and poetry collections, readers (anthologies), and thematic selections for extracurricular reading.

“Books for Extracurricular Reading” is:
• aligned with the school curriculum (editions recommended for extracurricular reading);
• an acknowledged classic of children’s literature—the best texts by domestic and foreign authors.

The book will make a great gift for a school student, will be useful in literature lessons and for summer reading, and will also help them prepare for the start of the school year.
