Description

The distinctive talent of the Russian prose writer Viktor Astafyev (1924-2001) sounds powerfully and majestically in one of his most significant works — the narrative in stories "Queen Fish". This book, subjected to harsh censorship and criticism in Soviet times, brought the author nationwide recognition and worldwide fame. National self-preservation, resistance to moral decay, and reliance on the foundational underpinnings of national life — the main themes of V. Astafyev's work — are also reflected in the other works by the writer included in this collection: "The Shepherd and the Shepherdess", "Ode to a Russian Vegetable Garden", "On a Clear Day", and "To Live a Life".
