Vera Panova's works are poignant and illuminating stories about life, family, youth, and people seeking happiness even in the most difficult times. We've collected the well-known stories "Seryozha," "Evdokia," and the novel "Kruzhilikha" under one cover.
The works included in this collection served as the basis for iconic Soviet films: "Seryozha," the directorial debut of Georgy Daneliya and Igor Talankin, which won the Grand Prize at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, and "Evdokia" by Tatyana Lioznova. These films starred beloved actors Sergei Bondarchuk, Irina Skobtseva, Lyubov Sokolova, Vasily Merkuriev, Alevtina Rumyantseva, and Nikolai Lebedev.
In "Seryozha," we see life through the eyes of a child who understands everything that happens, including family problems, in his own way. Into his world—with its games, ordinary joys and sorrows, sore throats, and the love of loved ones—a new adult appears, a stepfather whom Seryozha calls by his last name: Korostelev. Fair and courageous, Korostelev, unlike many adults, knows how to speak to the boy respectfully, as an equal, and helps him solve small but crucial problems. It is he who insists that Seryozha be taken to Kholmogory, the distant northern town where the family is moving, which the boy sees as a magical place.
