Sämmtliche Werke 3: Abende auf dem Gutshof bei Dikanka; Phantastische Novellen

A lively collection of short tales sweeps listeners into the moonlit evenings of a rustic Ukrainian estate. Told through the witty voice of an eccentric beekeeper, the stories mingle village gossip, mischievous pranks, and the rustle of balalaikas with the ever‑present whisper of the supernatural. From bustling market scenes to quiet nights by the hearth, each vignette captures the colorful rhythms of country life, where laughter and folklore walk hand‑in‑hand.

The first half of the volume introduces a handful of unforgettable episodes: a mysterious night‑time market, a haunting midsummer legend, a vanished love letter, and a chilling encounter with a drowned spirit. These narratives balance humor and eerie charm, inviting listeners to linger over the flickering candlelight of Dikanka’s tavern and feel the pulse of its timeless superstitions. The tone remains playful yet reverent, promising an engaging journey into the heart of folk imagination.
