The collection presents the best satirical works of Saltykov-Shchedrin, which included in the Golden Fund of Russian literature. The novel -pamplet “The History of one City”, where behind the ironic grotesque of the incredible history of the fictional city of Glupov, a very real Russian province is hidden – the province of embezzlement and low worship, total corruption and unbridled tyranny of those in power. Tales-accents, poisonously ridicuating ruling classes, bureaucracy and politicians. Tales that we reread in adulthood, and they sound in a completely new way.
