The son of the Saint-Petersburg ornithologist Valentin Bianki of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vitaly grew up among the collections of the Zoological Museum and combined a serious naturalist's training with the storytelling impulses of a fabulist, rendering dispassionate observation of bird and animal behaviour in lyrical, often calendrical narrative forms drawn from folk tale and from the long Russian tradition of nature prose running from Aksakov through Prishvin. The four-volume collected edition published by the Leningrad branch of «Detskaya Literatura» between 1972 and 1976, under the editorship of Bianki's longtime friend and posthumous editor Gleb Pavlovich Grodensky, gathers in its first three volumes the bulk of his published fiction for children — the short stories and tales, the longer animal novellas, and the celebrated calendrical chronicle «The Forest Newspaper» together with «The Columbus Club» — and in its fourth volume his non-fiction prose, articles, naturalist diaries and selected correspondence, much of it appearing here for the first time. The illustrations by Yevgeny Ivanovich Charushin (1901–1965) and Valentin Ivanovich Kurdov (1905–1989) — both major figures of the Leningrad school of Soviet book graphics, whose drawings and lithographs of animals have become inseparable from the way Bianki's prose has been imagined by generations of Russian readers — give the edition an additional weight as a document of mid-twentieth-century Soviet children's-book design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44289013841962,"sku":null,"price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_1567.jpg?v=1777226947","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/bianki-v-v-collected-works-in-four-volumes-sobranie-sochineniy-v-chetyrekh-tomakh-illustrations-by-e-charushin-and-v-kurdov-1972-1976-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
