Vasily Makarovich Shukshin is one of the most brilliant and original Russian writers. Mikhail Sholokhov wrote of Shukshin's work: "He didn't miss the moment when people yearned for the intimate. And he spoke of the simple, the unheroic, the relatable, just as simply, in a quiet, intimate way."

This collection includes stories written by Vasily Makarovich between 1960 and 1974, and the fairy tale "Before the Rooster Crows Thrice." Shukshin's characters are simple, sincere, and steadfast in their convictions. They live ordinary lives and often commit seemingly foolish and reckless acts, yet they are also guileless, trusting, and always willing to help even strangers. Through these everyday and recognizable situations, the writer's talent allows him to reveal a person's multifaceted inner world, their spiritual quest, and their life's purpose. Shukshin's prose touches on the most important issues of human relations, which is why it remains relevant to this day.
