This audiobook brings together stories written by the well-known Russian writer Viktor Petrovich Astafyev, who was recognized as a classic of national literature even during his lifetime.
Astafyev mainly wrote about war and the village—about what is clearer to an adult reader. But many of his stories, filled with love for the Motherland, often based on his own memories of childhood, written in a simple, vivid style, have long been included in school library collections.
