At the Eclipse. The Paradox. The River Plays

The stories by Vladimir Galaktionovich Korolenko “Paradox,” “At the Eclipse” and “The River Plays” are written in the style familiar to the author—full of emotional poetics and beautiful descriptions of nature in all its magnificence. The strength and unity of the Russian people, the beauty and power of nature, the depth of the Russian soul are fully revealed in the three stories, which are listened to in one breath. Vladimir Galaktionovich shows life with equal mastery—both of an entire people and of one person, with their torment, experiences, and aspirations.
