Another cycle of works by Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin lets us once again, through his melodious, well-turned, brilliant prose, plunge into the world of poetry. And as always, everywhere rules love. Young Count Nulin in a single evening becomes an unfortunate lover, the bear pines for its beloved killed she-bear, the miser in love with cheapness gets from Baldy payment in three clicks, the beauty Parasha nearly becomes the victim of a lustful lover, and a monk at the end of his life falls in love with a young mermaid with fatal love.
