Nikolai Alexandrovich Leikin was once a famous St. Petersburg humorist writer, journalist, and publisher. His popularity was enormous: "the era of Alexander III and the writer Leikin" was called the end of the 19th century by the poet A. Blok. A. P. Chekhov considered Leikin his "godfather": from the early 1880s, Leikin published his own magazine, the humorous weekly "Fragments", in which he attracted the young Anton Chekhov, revealing his talent. The book "Ours Abroad" is one of the most famous in Leikin's work. This is a funny story about the trip of merchant Nikolai Ivanovich Ivanov and his wife Glafira Semyonovna to France — to the famous World Exhibition in Paris. Readers liked the book so much (it went through 24 editions only during the author's lifetime!) that Leikin wrote a sequel, "Where the Oranges Ripen," in which the merchant couple decides to visit the French Riviera and Italy. Lakinsky's gentle humor towards compatriots who went to see the world and show themselves has not lost its relevance today. Read more…
