"Classics Explained" is an entirely new approach to studying the school literature curriculum, tailored for modern children. The series includes readers featuring unabridged texts. Instead of boring footnotes, every work is followed by hundreds of engaging, color-illustrated comments and notes that expand knowledge across four subjects at once: literature, Russian language, history, and geography! What is a desiatina and how does it differ from a hectare? Where is a horse's nostril? What kind of word is "shibenik" (rascal)? What did a *gornitsa* (parlor) look like? Why might a Cossack be expelled from the Sich?
Reading classical literature often raises many questions for both children and their parents!
In this book, we will break down the classics and their authors, explain the meaning of unfamiliar words in detail, and supplement them with interesting facts and illustrations.
Thanks to these colorful notes, getting to know the works of A. S. Pushkin, L. N. Tolstoy, I. S. Turgenev, A. P. Chekhov, and N. V. Gogol will become an immersive dive into history and culture, leading to the most unexpected discoveries and making the school curriculum truly captivating.
