The hunchbacked horse

Translation: Ibrahim Istanbully The book is the most famous work among Yershov's literary works, which became at the beginning of the twentieth century a model of classical literature dedicated to children. The story was printed during the author's lifetime, and censorship at that time was deleting sarcastic lines related to the czar and the church, or talking about judges and police. Pyotr Yershov wrote The Humpbacked Horse in 1934, when he was only eighteen years old, and he was influenced by Pushkin's tales.
