A. S. Pushkin is a great Russian writer. All his work is a brilliant example of flawless style and taste. But his greatest achievement is that he managed to reflect the archetype of the Russian person. In "The Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin," Pushkin tells the stories of the most ordinary people who belong to different social classes, but together represent all facets of the Russian national character – a sharp mind, the ability to love and empathize, nobility, fortitude, and even the cunning and slyness inherent in the heroes of folk tales. For older schoolchildren.
