Napakettu Napoleon Kolmas

“Yury Koval's novel Nedopesok (1979) about a young arctic fox that escapes from the fur farm and with the help of children heads for freedom, could be read as an allegory of an individual's struggle for freedom. The famous Russian poet Bela Akhmadulina recognized her own fate in the narration and after reading the book exclaimed: “Nedopesok – its me!”. “

Platinum foxes aren't really arctic foxes, but a color variant of the common red fox. I didn't know this. I thought all fur foxes are arctic foxes.

I like the unassuming writing style. It's also very Russian.
