Description

Boris Viktorovich Shergin (1896–1973) is an author of Pomor tales and legends, an outstanding master of the word whose fame grows with each new edition of his works.

Shergin’s creativity was fueled not only by biographical sources (he was born into a shipbuilder’s family, lived for a long time among seafarers and shipbuilders), but also by deep knowledge of the history and art of the Russian North—its traditions and legends, the element of living folk speech. Feeling at ease in the genres traditional for folklore, the writer knew how to pour into them a new, fresh stream, making them interesting for a contemporary reader.

The book includes all the best and most significant that B. V. Shergin created during his half-century of creative activity, as well as excerpts from his articles and diaries.
