The second volume of A. Averchenko’s works includes: the third book of the collection “Stories (humorous)” (1911), “New History” (from “General History, processed by Satyricon”) (1910), “Expedition to Western Europe satirikontsev" (1911) and one of the best collections of the writer's stories, "Circles on the Water" (1912). Many stories are published for the first time in the last eight to ten years. The text of the book was translated from the original language using an artificial intelligence program. For the most part, the translation of the text is of very high quality, but in some cases, due to the imperfection of the technology, there may be incorrect phrase translations in the text, as well as single words and expressions may not be translated.
