"Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka" became the first major work by Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852), bringing him true fame and success. The collection of eight stories, where mysticism easily coexists with reality, and comedy with horror, immediately won the love of the urban audience, including Pushkin himself. Gogol's colorful characters, folklore and dialects, appetizing descriptions of local cuisine - all of this formed the classic image of Little Russia, so familiar to everyone from school days. In the most New Year's story of the collection, "The Night Before Christmas," the blacksmith Vakula, trying to win the heart of the unapproachable Oksana, sets off to St. Petersburg riding on a devil to obtain the Tsar's boots. The design of this limited edition of the "Bright Pages" series is inspired by the painting of Konstantin Alexandrovich Veshilov (1878-1945) and Gogol's characters.
