Ivan Andreevich Krylov (1768-1844) - famous Russian fabulist, playwright, journalist. He was the best of Russian fabulists and won the hearts of readers from all social groups of the Russian population. In 1811, for his outstanding literary merits, he was elected a member of the Russian Academy, and in 1823 he received a gold medal. In terms of the power of expression and the beauty of form, Krylov’s fables, according to critics of the 19th century, were the height of perfection. However, Krylov turned to the fable genre quite late; before that, he wrote comedies and satirical stories that had enormous success. To achieve greater expressiveness, he expelled book expressions and “poetic liberties” from his works and introduced instead more precise, folk expressions. In his mastery of storytelling and in his portrayal of characters, Krylov is a true artist, endowed with subtle humor.
