The cycle of dramatic miniatures "Little Tragedies" was written by A.S. Pushkin in the autumn of 1830, when the poet spent several months in his Boldino estate during the cholera quarantine. These works are not only historical genre scenes, but also parables about human weaknesses and vices: envy, greed, treachery, indifference, and about what can result from violating moral laws. It is not for nothing that Anna Akhmatova wrote that in no other creation of world poetry are the formidable questions of morality posed so sharply.

The famous St. Petersburg artist Vladimir Nenov creatively rethought the legacy of the great poet and presented us with his vision of the plot and its heroes. The four canonical works that make up the cycle "Little Tragedies" are supplemented by Pushkin's unfinished sketches - the story "Egyptian Nights" and "Scene from Faust".
