Why did Ivan Krylov hide his wife and daughter?
Ivan Andreevich Krylov, a talented Russian fabulist, who, perhaps, has no equal in this genre in world literature, was known as a lazy couch potato, a crafty glutton and a charming slob. It seemed that this good-natured fat man was absolutely indifferent to the female sex. However, after his death, it turned out that he had a wife and daughter, whom he carefully hid even from his friends. Unwashed, unkempt, absent-minded.
