This is an automatically translated description

In the history of world literature, there are happy occasions when a book created by a novice writer overcomes time and space constraints to become a masterpiece for all time. Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka by Nikolai Gogol can be considered such a lucky case. In the eight stories that form the basis of Evenings..., the reader will discover the almost fairy-tale world of an ancient Ukrainian village where witches fly about as they please, where the devil holds a fair in Sorochyntsi, where the terrible Basavryuk picks on beautiful girls. This fun (and sometimes scary) world is right next door - you just have to open the book. For a wide range of readers.
