Vladimir Ivanovich Dahl's "Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language" is one of the most significant works of Russian lexicography, becoming a veritable encyclopedia of the vernacular and culture. For over 150 years, this work has helped us understand the origins of words, their meanings, and their connection to the history of Russian speech.

This edition presents an abridged version of the dictionary, adapted to modern orthography. It preserves the richness and originality of Dahl's definitions, making them accessible to modern readers. The book opens with a preface by Sofia Medvedeva, linguist, lecturer, and author of the "Language Witch" project, dedicated to the life and scholarly legacy of Vladimir Dahl, his role in the development of Russian literature, and the significance of the dictionary he created.

The edition is supplemented with black-and-white illustrations, as well as original color covers featuring works by contemporary artist Krasnozoryka, which offer a fresh perspective on the world of words and make the book a true gem in any home library.

This dictionary makes a wonderful gift for anyone interested in the Russian language, literature, history, and culture, and who appreciates books that offer a modern interpretation of the classic heritage.
