Ours are abroad. Where oranges ripen
Nikolai Aleksandrovich Leikin was once a famous St. Petersburg humorist writer, journalist, and publisher. Its popularity was colossal: the poet A. Blok called the end of the 19th century “the era of Alexander III and the writer Leikin.” A.P. Chekhov... considered Leikin to be his “godfather”: from the beginning of the 1880s, Leikin published his own magazine - the humorous weekly “Oskolki”, in which he attracted young Anton Chekhov to collaborate, revealing his talent. The book “Our People Abroad” is one of the most famous in Leikin’s work. The cheerful story about the travels of the merchant Nikolai Ivanovich Ivanov and his wife Glafira Semyonovna, about funny adventures and all sorts of misunderstandings that happen to the heroes in foreign lands, was so liked by readers that Leikin wrote a sequel - “Where Oranges Ripen.” This time the merchant couple goes on a trip to the French Riviera and Italy. The Ivanov couple will have to try their luck in the casino, see the Roman Forum and ancient Pompeii, and even climb to the crater of Vesuvius. Leikin’s gentle humor towards compatriots who went to see the world and show themselves has not lost its relevance today.
