Description

[“I think that there hasn’t been such a lover of nature, such a perceptive connoisseur of nature, and such a pure poet of it in our literature as you, Mikhail Mikhailovich. … Everything with you flows into a single stream of the living; everything is understood and shaped by your wise heart; filled with moving, touching friendship with a person—with you, as the poet and sage.”]

A.M. Gorky. From a letter by M.M. Prishvin.

In this audiobook, cycles of stories by Mikhail Mikhailovich Prishvin are voiced: “The Forest Master,” “Dogs,” “Animals,” “Conversations of Birds and Animals,” “The Hunter’s Tales.”
