Description
Dive into a world of mysticism and magic with Anton Pogorelsky, the first Russian writer who boldly wove fantastic elements into his prose!
In this collection, you’ll find six works, including the novellas “The Lafertovskaya Poppy Seed Grinder” and “Isidor and Anyuta,” as well as the famous fairy tale “The Black Hen.”
Anton Pogorelsky was the first in Russian literature to use mystical and fantastic elements in his prose—in 1825 he wrote “The Lafertovskaya Poppy Seed Grinder.” This work was praised by Pushkin himself, who especially loved the image of one of the characters—the cat-shaped werewolf Murlikin.

This edition also includes the author’s other novellas, the novel “The Little Nun’s House,” and the famous fairy tale “The Black Hen, or the Underground Dwellers.”
