The books of Boris Shergin, the great connoisseur of the Russian North, the custodian of its cultural and linguistic traditions, cannot be called light literature: the abundance of archaic phrases and peculiar folk humor make reading them a difficult task at first.
The books of Boris Shergin, the great connoisseur of the Russian North, the custodian of its cultural and linguistic traditions, cannot be called light literature: the abundance of archaic phrases and peculiar folk humor make reading them a difficult task at first. However, once imbued with the harsh beauty and heroism of Pomeranian tales, the young reader will have an incomparable opportunity to feel a deep kinship with their own roots. The collection published in the Children of the O.G.I. series is the most complete in recent years: it includes the cycles “Father’s Knowledge”, “Near the Arkhangelsk City” and others.
