"Dostojevzski", "Tolsztoi" and "Toorgenef" are cheap substitutes for lasting literary values, meant for people who cannot afford to read the real, demanding Russian classics. Especially in the remote villages of Gemer and Novohrad you often meet people who keep some "Čehov" on the shelf and believe that, having read these cheap patchworks, they are qualified to discuss the great themes of Russian literature: God, love, immortality, crime, punishment and death. The book presents itself as an anthology of such stories, "compiled and translated" by the author.
