A distinguished writer of the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Vladimir Korolenko (1853-1921) was one of the most attractive public figures of his day. Maxim Gorky, who was closely acquainted with Korolenko, wrote: "Every talk I had with him strengthened the impression of V. G. Korolenko as a great humanist. I have never met among cultivated Russians anyone with such a thirst for truth and justice, anyone feeling so keenly the need for embodying that truth in life."
Korolenko's literary heritage consists of his stories, short novels, his voluminous 'The History of My Contemporary', a half-century chronicle of Russian life, sketches of Siberia, where he lived in exile, his reminiscences of Tolstoy, Chekhov, Garshin and other writers.
The present volume contains Korolenko's best works of the seventies and eighties of the 19th century. A line from one of his own stories may well serve as an epigraph to this book: "Man is born for happiness as a bird for flight."
