Second Lieutenant Kizhe. Citizen Ocher

This collection includes the famous stories of the outstanding Russian writer and literary scholar Yuri Nikolayevich Tynyanov—“Kieze Sub-Lieutenant” and “Citizen of Ochyor.”

The fantastic “Kieze Sub-Lieutenant” is a story in the spirit of Gogol about a “dead soul” that arose from an absurd coincidence and acquired a ghostly life.

“Citizen of Ochyor” is an unusual plot from the biography of Count Pavel Stroganov: one of Alexander I’s “young friends” during the time of his liberal enthusiasms and later a gifted general of the Russian army during the war with Napoleon.

The works included in this edition are part of the school curriculum for Grade 5 for general education institutions of all levels and are suitable for work in class and at home.
