Tales of A. S. Pushkin

In the work of famous writers of the XVIII - beginning of the XIX century, from childhood surrounded by the elements of folk poetry, fairy tales were necessarily present. This was “sinned” Derzhavin, Zhukovsky, Sumarokov, Radishchev, Karamzin and many others. But to extract from the whole rich and diverse sea of ​​folk art the topics that affect the social contradictions of the surrounding reality, to create truly magical plots on their basis, and even to transfer them to a poetic form, perhaps, only A. S. Pushkin.
The poet wrote fairy tales throughout his work, drawing inspiration not from books, but from the memoirs of youth and childhood, from Russian folklore, from stories heard from the lips of her beloved nanny Arina Rodionovna. But only those that appeared during the heyday of the work of A. S. Pushkin, in his most fruitful period - from 1830 to 1834, became truly folk and entered the treasury of the Russian poetic fairy tale.
The list of Pushkin’s fairy tales is not so great, there are only seven of them, but each of them is an indisputable masterpiece, a classic, a fairy tale for all times, our enduring cultural heritage
