About the author

Russian: Антоний Погорельский
Real name: Алексей Алексеевич Перовский

Antony Pogorelsky was a Russian prose writer. His remarkable set of stories Dvoinik (The Double, or My Evenings in Little Russia) (1828) was closely related to the German fantastic tradition (Serapion Brothers by Hoffman) and anticipated the famous Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka by Nikolai Gogol and Russian Nights by Vladimir Odoevsky. In 1829 Pogorelsky published the book that brought him real fame: it was the fairy tale Black Hen, or Living Underground written for his nephew, the first book about childhood in Russian literature. His novel Monastyrka, a “moral-descriptive novel” combining both sentimental and romantic elements was very well accepted by public and critics.

- Маша , тебе жених нашелся!
- Матушка, это же бабушкин кот!
- Кот так кот. Кто тебя замуж еще возьмет, бесприданница.
- Он мяукает.
- Не привередничай.
