Quiet Morning. Stories

This book collects the most sensual and lyrical works by the well-known Soviet writer Yuri Kazakov. Critics considered him a worthy successor to Bunin and Chekhov, calling him a master of short prose. His stories open up deep and moving tales. One of them is “A Quiet Morning,” in which two boys, Yashka and Volodya, go fishing. Volodya is inexperienced in this matter, which leads to unexpected consequences. The collection also includes other stories, such as “The Silly Chik,” “Arktur—Hunting Dog,” “Teddy,” and others.
