Easter stories of Russian writers

Christianity is the basis of Russian culture, and therefore the theme of Easter, the main Christian holiday, could not but affect the work of Russian writers. Even in the era of socialist realism, the genre of Easter story continued to live in Samizdat and in the literature of the Russian foreign countries. This book contains Easter stories of various literary eras: from Gogol to Solzhenitsyn. Great artists saw how the light of Easter transforms the whole variety of life, to the most commonplace trifles, and captured it in their works. The light of the Resurrection of Christ shines from them. This book is a great gift for the holiday of holidays and a wonderful reading for all times.

The genre of Easter story is unique to Russian literature. Many authors turned to him to allow readers to feel the warmth and kindness of a bright holiday, to teach Christian love and virtue. The collection contains Easter stories of Russian writers of the XIX-XX centuries: N. A. Gogol, F. M. Dostoevsky, A.P. Chekhov, I. A. Bunin, L. A. Andreev, A. I. Solzhenitsyn and others
