Description
"Where are you going?" and "What do you believe?"—these two questions have always been central for the Russian person. They also became the main theme of Maxim Gorky’s "Russian Fairy Tales." So what, exactly, interestingly, led our literature’s storm-petrel to such an apparently archaic genre? Very simply— the absurdity of Russian life… Indeed: why do we all keep looking to the West, trying to copy their little tricks, yet we live just the same—bent out of shape. What is human life worth, why is killing a person even more costly, and, finally, what is the meaning of this shabby, "rashian" life of ours? The questions seem the same, and the situations are painfully familiar—yet they will surprise you again and again, and, most importantly, do you know what? You’ll be laughing!"
