Вечера на хуторе близ Диканьки

Odno iz luchshikh proizvedeniy klassicheskoy otechestvennoy literatury. Kniga, kotoraya vot uzhe pochti dva stoletiya v ravnoy stepeni lyubima chitatelyami vsekh vozrastov. Sam Pushkin voskhishchenno pisal ob etom sbornike: "Vot nastoyashchaya vesyelost, iskrennyaya, neprinuzhdyennaya, bez zhemanstva, bez chopornosti. A mestami kakaya poeziya!.."Pered nami ozhivaet porazitelnyy mir ukrainskogo folklora mir rusalok, vedm, prizrakov, demonov i chertey. Mir, gde samye udivitelnye, a poroy i strashnye sobytiya opisany s myagkim i lukavym, tipichno ukrainskim yumorom i sosedstvuyut s koloritno izobrazhennym krestyanskim bytom XIX veka.
