The forest is rustling

A selection of short stories from a realist author who was considered by his contemporaries to be one of the most significant fighters against government tyranny and intolerance towards minorities in Russia. In these stories, we meet ordinary people who are far from perfect, but who are capable of extraordinary things thanks to their talent and determination. The selection also includes the novella "Without a Tongue," which describes the hardships of a Ukrainian villager in America. The text is based on Mária Klimová's translation from the 1950s and has undergone minimal revisions.
