| Summary |
"Valkoinen villakoira y.m. kertomuksia" by A. I. Kuprin is a collection of stories written in the early 20th century. The book features whimsical narratives that explore the lives of both humans and animals, showcasing themes of companionship, longing, and the artistry of everyday life. Central to the opening tale is a white poodle named Arto, who embarks on an adventure accompanied by an old man named Martyn Lodyzhkin and a young boy named Sergei. The opening of the book introduces the small group as they travel along the southern coast of Crimea, with Arto leading the way. The elderly Lodyzhkin carries a decrepit music box, and Sergei has a small cage with a trained bird. Their journey is filled with humorous and tender moments that reveal the deep bond between them, as well as Lodyzhkin's affection for music and his companions. As they move from villa to villa, their attempts to entertain for a few coins lead to a mix of both disappointment and enjoyment, setting the tone for the enchanting stories to follow.
