Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky is a great Russian writer, poet, publicist, literary critic, translator, literary scholar and journalist. Honorary Doctor of Literature from Oxford University (1962). The most published author of children's literature in the Soviet Union and Russia, whose poems, fairy tales and translations have become classics. Korney Chukovsky is also widely known for his critical and literary works and translations.

The book "Alive as Life" is one of the significant works of Russian literature of the 20th century, a collection of articles devoted to the problems of the modern Russian language. In it, the author examines various aspects of our language: spelling, grammar, vocabulary, stylistics and other literary norms; analyzes errors that are often encountered in speech; and offers his own options for correcting these errors.

One of the main ideas of the book is the need to preserve the purity of the Russian language and its traditions. Korney Chukovsky criticizes the use of foreign words and expressions in the Russian language, believing that they distort it. However, he also acknowledges that the Russian language must develop and adapt to new conditions. Foreword by Pavel Kryuchkov, the leading Russian researcher of Korney Chukovsky's works, leading researcher at the V. I. Dahl State Museum of Russian Literature and Literature "K. I. Chukovsky House Museum", and the famous dictionary "one must not speak" / "one must speak".
