"Some of Pushkin's works resemble those mysterious children's pictures, where a forest is depicted, and underneath it is printed: 'Where is the tiger?' The outlines of the branches form the figure of a tiger; once you've spotted it, you immediately see it and wonder how others don't."

This edition, produced using the "book-within-a-book" technique, is a fascinating study of A.S. Pushkin's first completed prose works, designed to help uncover not only the superficial but also the hidden meanings of each story and the entire cycle. Together with the author of the commentary, we will discover what motivated the cruel Silvio, whether bad dreams come true, who should we fear in the story "The Undertaker," why the stationmaster was actually punished by Providence, what future awaited the heroes of "The Young Lady-Peasant," and why Ivan Petrovich Belkin was born and left this world.

The publication will be of interest not only to those who are beginning to read the stories for the first time, but also to those who have been familiar with them for many years, but did not notice the “tiger in the jungle” mentioned by M. O. Gershenzon.
