Bases and Stories for Children

Leo Tolstoy's "Basins and Stories for Children" is a unique collection of short, powerful and teaching stories created by the great writer specifically for the teaching and education of peasant children in his famous Jasnopolan School. This book includes laconic stories, household drawings from peasant life, miniatures about animals and live translations of the classic basins of Ezop. Every work is a small, but finished and incredibly accurate picture of the world. Tolstoy deliberately abandoned the complex literary approaches, making the slug extremely simple, clean and understandable. Behind the misleading simplicity of stories about a cat, a smart cat or a faithful dog, deep moral lessons about honesty, labor, kindness, courage and respect for nature and the elderly are hidden. This is not just a child's reading, but a real alphabet of life and the reference of a pure, original Russian speech. About what the book in three words: Goodness, Moral, Wisdom. Who to read: Parents for spiritual reading with children, teachers, as well as everyone who wants to see how the greatest master of the word was able to speak about the most complex and important incredibly simple language.
