The work of Vasily Shukshin (1929–1974) is a remarkable phenomenon of the 1960s and 1970s. His talent manifested itself in acting, directing, and screenwriting, but it was his literary works that brought him national fame. The writer's stories have been translated into more than twenty languages and are rightfully considered a treasure of 20th-century Russian literature.
This book includes the satirical theater novella 'Energetic People,' the fairy tales 'Point of View' and 'Before the Rooster Crows Thrice,' and the novella 'There, in the Distance.'

Vasily Shukshin
Beginning of career
Vasily Makarovich Shukshin was born on July 25, 1929, into a peasant family. His father, Makar Leontyevich Shukshin (1912—1933), was arrested and shot in 1933 during collectivization. His mother, Maria Sergeyevna (née Popova; in her second marriage — Kuksina) (1909 — January 17, 1979), took on all responsibilities for the family. His sister was Natalya Makarovna Shukshina (November 16, 1931 — July 10, 2005). After his father’s arrest and until he received a passport, Vasily Makarovich was known by his mother’s surname as Vasily Popov.
