Mikhail Prishvin

In 1893-1897, he studied at a polytechnic school in Riga and was once arrested for his involvement with Marxist circles.

In 1902, Prishvin graduated from the University of Leipzig with a degree in agronomics.

He began writing for magazines in 1898, but his first short story, "Sashok," was published in 1906.

Prishvin's works are full of poetics, exceptional keenness of observation, and descriptions of nature.

Many of his works were translated into different languages and became part of the gold fund of the Soviet children's literature.
