"Collection of Shchedrin's Works" includes three important works of Shchedrin, and "Collection of Shchedrin's Fairy Tales" includes all 32 fairy tales he wrote in his life. The basic ideological content of fairy tales is to satirize the viciousness, cowardice, and hypocrisy of the ruling class and its minions. "The History of a City" uses grotesque and exaggerated techniques to depict the stories of successive mayors of the City of Fools and their people. "The Golovlev Family" is the author's masterpiece, which depicts the intrigues among the landlord family and their decadent and parasitic life of boredom.
