The present collection includes two books on the Russian language, the importance and uniqueness of which remain unparalleled even decades after their publication. "In the laboratory of the editor" (1960) - one of the main books devoted to the purity and richness of the Russian language. In her book, the outstanding writer, critic and literary critic Lydia Chukovskaya shares her experience of working in the legendary editorial office of Detgiz. According to the author, "this book is not a textbook on editing. I do not set myself any educational tasks, and it is unlikely that any textbook can serve the mastery of art to any extent. The task of the book is different: I just wanted to understand the experience accumulated by me and my closest comrades, to collect and summarize it, to bring the reader into the circle of those thoughts, those anxieties and questions that I had to face during three decades of literary work". Nora Gal is an outstanding translator of English and French literature, whose works ("The Little Prince" by Saint-Exupéry, "The Outsider" by Camus, "To Kill a Mockingbird..." by Harper Lee and many others) have long been included in the treasury of national literature. Her main theoretical work "The Word Alive and Dead" is devoted to fiction translation and represents the quintessence of the author's experience as an editor and translator. The author brilliantly and humorously plays with the richest material collected on the basis of more than half a century of work with texts, defending and protecting one of the most important assets of our culture - the purity of the Russian language.
