Soviet writer and playwright Yuri Olesha grew up in a family of impoverished nobles. The fairy tale "The Three Fat Men" is a Soviet version of the Robin Hood story. In a city ruled by three greedy Fat Men, the gunsmith Prospero is the only one who dares to challenge them and stand up for the people. The book teaches kindness and fairness, demonstrating that true wealth lies not in money and power, but in freedom and the love of loved ones.
