This book contains works by the renowned master of lyric prose, Vasily Akimovich Nikiforov-Volgin (1900-1941). The writer's stories and sketches form a quiet, heartfelt song about Russia.

In times of lawlessness and persecution that befell his native land, amidst a sea of suffering, Volgin searches for the seeds of Christian love and depicts characters who hold Holy Rus' in their hearts. These are wanderers, pilgrims, clergy, and holy fools who console the suffering people, heal souls, and purify hearts. With particular tenderness, the author depicts the world of a child embracing Orthodoxy.

One of Volgin's constant motifs is the pacification and enlightenment of man. Together with his characters, the author reflects on the mysterious paths of the Russian soul, its fall and resurrection.
