Konstantin Paustovsky: The Golden Rose

Konstantin Paustovsky is a major Russian writer, author of remarkable lyrical and autobiographical prose filled with love for Russian nature and culture. Paustovsky was repeatedly nominated for the Nobel Prize, and his works have been translated into many languages and are rightfully considered classics of 20th-century Russian literature. For Soviet readers, Paustovsky was the embodiment of human and literary nobility, the conscience of the era. His work freely combined history and modernity, fidelity to the truth of life and a romantic transcendence above it, the intimate-personal and the universally significant. This volume includes the most famous works of Konstantin Paustovsky, including the novella "Kara-Bugaz," which launched the writer’s literary fame; "Meshchora Side" and "The Story of the Woods," which celebrate the beauty of the Central Russian land; "The Golden Rose," dedicated to the essence of literary labor and the nature of the art of writing; the philosophical fantasy "The Constellation of the Hounds," which leans towards a parable, and other works.
