Wonderful, full of subtle humor, Korovin’s stories resemble his “etudes”, this is the view of not a writer, but an artist. The two-volume edition includes not only the memoirs of Konstantin Korovin published in Soviet times (with cuts), this time in full, but also an autobiography, about four hundred stories, and letters. Verbal portraits of Korovin are full of life: here is the unmercenary philanthropist Savva Mamontov, here is the “newcomer from another world” Vrubel, and here is the sobbing “from the heights” Levitan. But the author’s heart is given not to them, but to the Russian peasant, the forest, hunting, animals and birds: “What a secret is in them, how you love it in spring – the earth …” Korovin wrote about the goblin, water, noble robber Churkin, who covered the sin of the monastery treasurer, when all this was left in distant and disappeared for him Russia.
Russian way, in 2 volumes, 751 p. and 846 c.
