About the Author

Of mixed Ukrainian-Polish parentage, Korolenko was exiled for political activity to Siberia (1879--84). He then spent a decade in the provincial city of Nizhny Novgorod, where he produced most of his best work. A major figure among the Populists, Korolenko fought actively against social and show more political injustices, writing essays about religious persecution, racial discrimination, and other social issues. A fundamental humanism and a belief in human progress also inform his numerous stories and novellas, for example, his famous story "Makar's Dream" (1885). After the October Revolution he was hostile to the Bolshevik government and maintained this attitude until his death. Korolenko's prose is distinguished by a charming lyricism, an ability to capture natural settings and mood, a talent for depicting common people, and a wonderful sense of humor. His autobiographical History of My Contemporary 1922) is perhaps his best work. (Bowker Author Biography) show less

Libri është tabloja e zhvillimit intelektual dhe muzikor të një fëmije të verbër – një kryevepër magjepsëse, e quajtur nga Korolenko “studim psikologjik”, ku autori tenton të analizojë gjendjen e brendshme shpirtërore të të verbërve.
Romani na zhyt në shoqërinë ruarale të Rusisë së vogël në fillim të shekullit të kaluar. Pjetri i verbër martohet me Evelinën, miken e fëmijërisë, për t’u bërë së fundmi një muzikant i famshëm.
Gjithë veprimi show more zhvillohet në shpirtin e heroit. Edhe pse mund të tingëllojë e çuditshme, sapo të keni lexuar dy rreshta, do ta keni të pamundur të shkëputeni nga leximi.. show less
A rather lengthy tale about the death of Socrates and his debates with the Olympian gods about the nature of their divinity, which he disputed. Some interesting dialogue and some stirring description.
В книгу вошли самые известные повести, рассказы и очерки В.Г. Короленко для детей школьного возраста.
