Olesya

After the publication of «Olesya», Kuprin gained true recognition and the love of reading Russia. It is with this poetic work that the theme already dear to the author—untouched, wild, majestic nature and those people for whom kindness, love, humanity, and justice matter more than the benefits of civilization—became firmly established in his work. In 'Olesya', Kuprin appears to us as the greatest artist of love, that mysterious gift granted only to the chosen few. Much like the story’s main heroine—the beautiful Polesian sorceress Olesya.
