The entire work of A.S. Pushkin, the great Russian poet and writer, is a true example of impeccable style and literary taste. Pushkin's turn to prose was a deliberate step, preceded by reflections on the nature of verbal art. The work of this first Russian poet reflects all of Russia: its history, traditions, beliefs, the strength of its national character, and human suffering. "Belkin's Tales" are, above all, stories of love and fidelity to one's word, of the nobility and fortitude that ordinary people must demonstrate as they struggle against the fickleness of fate for their happiness.

The illustrations for the stories were created by Igor Shaimardanov, a great admirer of A.S. Pushkin's work and a St. Petersburg artist. Today, Igor Shaimardanov's paintings are in the State A.S. Pushkin Museum (Moscow), the All-Russian A.S. Pushkin Museum on the Moika (St. Petersburg), the Vladimir Nabokov Apartment Museum (St. Petersburg), the Contemporary Art Foundation, the Pushkinogorsk Museum-Reserve, as well as in other public and private collections.
