This collection of short stories and fairy tales by Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin includes his well-known works “The Tale of How One Man Fed Two Generals,” “The Wild Landowner,” “The Wise Minnow,” “The Idealistic Crucian Carp,” “The Eagle—A Patron,” and others that were originally part of the collection “Fairy Tales for Children of a Certain Age.” Saltykov-Shchedrin’s satire has not lost its relevance even today.
