The Enchanted Wanderer. Leftless

Nikolai Semenovich Leskov, according to Leo Tolstoy, is the most Russian of the writers. Talented, wise, very kind and recklessly bold heroes of Leskov’s stories combine the main features of a national character, with all its advantages and disadvantages.
The simple -minded Russian hero Ivan Golovan in the “enchanted wanderer” survived many adventures for his long life, but in each of them he retained honesty, conscience, and faith in good. The Tula master of the left -handed man without boasting and fuss with equal ease and bypasses the ability of English masters, and gives advice of state importance - which, alas, officials cannot even understand, not only to realize. The poetic, singing language of Leskov, sprinkled with folk expressions, does not imitate a folk dialect, but he himself is.
