This gift collectible edition presents the best translations of Hauff's original tales in the correct and intriguing sequence intended by the author. This makes the book unique, as most publications of Hauff in Russian are incomplete and the tales in them are in random order and often adapted for children. These tales will impress you with their unique enchanting images and adventurous plots, inspired by the wisdom of Eastern parables, the deep mysticism of German folklore, and the erotic atmosphere of "The Thousand and One Nights," which is especially felt due to the adult openness of the unadapted translations for children. Numerous engravings and drawings by outstanding artists of the 19th–20th centuries will allow you to see Little Nose, Little Muck, and other famous characters, immersing you fully into the fantastic adventures born from the imagination of the genius writer. Wilhelm Hauff passed away just days before his 25th birthday. The tales are the best part of his literary legacy. They are loved by millions of readers worldwide, have been repeatedly adapted for film, and forever inscribed Hauff’s name in the history of world literature.
