The True Story of the Hound of Baskerville

"In reality, everything is not as it seems" — this phrase can describe the essence of the book you hold in your hands. This collection of detective stories and early tales is perfect for beginning to familiarize yourself with the works of M. Yu. Kharitonov. Because here, smaller forms of storytelling combine with intricately twisted plots, deep erudition, and subtle humor — all the things that make this author so beloved.
What happened in the Dartmoor marshes, where the infamous Baskerville Hall is located? How did the story of the Dragon by Evgeny Schwartz end, which cuts off at the most interesting point?
The brilliant stylist Mikhail Kharitonov will make you see literary characters in a new light and reveal how things really were. Rhythmically swaying his head, the snake-narrator mesmerizes the rabbit-reader, who won't be able to tear themselves away from the shocking twists and overflowing irony of the stories included in this book.
Mikhail Yurievich Kharitonov is the author of the sensational novels "Fakup" and "The Golden Key, or The Adventures of Buratino," a master of playing with readers, a true rogue in the literary worlds.
