Little Joys. Tales by Alexandra Ishimova
29.99 €
We know Alexandra Osipovna Ishimova primarily as the author of “The History of Russia for Children”, enthusiastically praised by Pushkin and Belinsky. But in the 19th century, the writer’s fairy tales and stories were no less popular with young readers, their parents and teachers – they were read in peasant houses and in the palaces of the nobility… And even in the family of the Russian emperor. This love has not faded even after almost two centuries – as has the charm of these wonderful and kind stories. And all because, by the modest admission of Ishimova herself, she simply wrote down the stories, the author of which “loves children madly, loves to talk to them, to learn their little passions, to share their little joys and sorrows”. Therefore, even Ishimova’s fairy tales seem to be “taken from life”. The fairy tales and stories of Alexandra Ishimova are returning to readers for the first time since 1917 in a richly illustrated edition, including masterpieces of Russian and foreign painting.
