Wind of Change, or Kolobok and the Meaning of His Life

People may have hundreds of different answers to the question of the meaning of life, while some may have none at all. But does Kolobok have a meaning in life? Why was he created, and how can he fulfill himself in life?

The hero of Yuri Maksimov’s humorous story, well known to us since childhood, not only asks himself these questions, but also puts into practice the only true answers to them, stubbornly rolling toward the goal of his baking!

A conversation with a trembling Hare, a measured talk with the wise-by-experience Wolf, a brief dialogue with the simple good-natured Bear, and of course an unforgettable romantic meeting with the Fox—everywhere there is room for simple philosophical conversations literally imbued with the author’s kind humor.

But the resolution of this story takes place beyond the Hero’s encounters with the characters we know.

You’ve never heard a Kolobok tale like this before!
