Description

In Antosha’s stories, there is but one step from laughter to compassion. And one gets the impression that the heroes and their days are not the writer’s imagination, but life as it is. Townspeople and officials, clerks and doctors, actors and petty landowners—all have their own passions, tragedies, and triumphs. All this fascinates and amuses, makes one think, and simply lets the soul rest.
