N.A. Leikin is a famous writer of the late 19th - early 20th centuries, famous for his sharp, caustic satire, exposing the morals of contemporary Russian society. At the same time, he never reduced the heroes of his works to one-dimensional caricatures. All of them are living people, and these images can still be guessed at in our environment. Of course, the classes are a thing of the past, and now you will not meet a merchant, a clerk, a peasant, or a state councilor on the street, but the Russian mentality and special national character are inherent in both our ancestors and us.

The way of life of Russians of the past and the century before last sometimes subtly, and sometimes very vividly resembles our compatriots now, in the 21st century. Leikin's talent is not limited to satire: in the works included in this collection, the joyful is intertwined with the tragic, the cheerful with the sad - laughter through tears, as in life.
