Evenings on a Dacha Near Dikanka. Selected Works. Gogol N. V. School Library

A series of short works collectively titled “Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka” – the first prose work of the great Russian writer N. V. Gogol, which was immediately noticed by Pushkin and received his enthusiastic praise.
Touching, kind, imbued with gentle humor and an incredible sympathy for its characters, the stories immerse the reader in the glorious era of the Zaporozhian Cossacks, the atmosphere of terrifying Ukrainian legends, and romantic tales.
Some of these remarkable works are included in the collection published in the “School Library” series by Omega Publishing House. They are intended for middle school children and are part of the school curriculum for extracurricular reading.
The texts of the works are presented without abridgment, printed on good-quality paper in a large font, and contain color illustrations by O. Kim.
The medium format and small weight of the edition make it convenient for a home or school library and a light load in a student’s backpack.
The following works are included in the collection:
- A May Night, or The Drowned Woman
- The Lost Letter
- The Night Before Christmas
- The Enchanted Place
