Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky is known to readers, first of all, as a classic of children's literature. Several generations have grown up on his fairy tales, and to this day he remains one of the most published children's writers in Russia. Meanwhile, everyone's favorite author of "Moydodyr" and "Mukha-Tsokotukha" was also a brilliant critic, memoirist, translator, literary scholar and linguist. Chukovsky-translator gave Russian readers a whole library of works of English and American literature, Chukovsky-memoirist - a magnificent gallery of portraits of contemporaries, Chukovsky-researcher - wonderful books on Russian language and literature, interesting not only to specialists, but also to the widest range of readers, because "scientificity", as Chukovsky believed, is not always combined with "dense verbal wilds". In the book "Alive as Life" the author fascinatingly tells what a complex, amazing, wisely arranged and self-regulating system - the Russian language. The book "From two to five" is devoted to children's word creation, its laws and secrets that everyone who is going to write for children needs to know. "High Art" familiarizes the reader with the problems of artistic translation, which, as the author believed, is not just a "craft", but a complex inspired creativity.
