The history along with the illustrations are remarkable.What is missing are the translations for each page where there is 'the written word'.Will have to find a translator - which will take time, but I am sure worth while.Again, so many thanks to all involved with the "Rainbow' project.
I chose this book because I am interested in Children's books and also interested in Russian history. Both subjects are explored in this very interesting book. The illustrations relate a great deal to the type of art that artists were making in the U.S.S.R. during this time period and there did not seem to be a stigma attached to artists doing illustration, so there is 'cross-over' artwork. The book provide a window into what was appropriate for children as well as a glimpse of a child's life. Very interesting, but probably not for the casual reader.
Bought this for my boyfriend because it wasn't available in stores. He is very interested in art and the history behind the book. Received this on the day expected and looks great!
Why spell Kharms as Charms when all other English language editions use "Kharms" transliteration...?("Charms" is the French and German transliteration.)And, who are the translators? Could you list them?Looking forward to getting a copy of the book.ThanksMatvei
