This elegant two-volume set represents a definitive mid-century collection of the works of Samuel Marshak, one of the most beloved figures in Soviet literature. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of Marshak’s creative output, including the arrangement of his celebrated children's verses, dramatic fairy tales, and his world-renowned translations of Shakespeare’s sonnets and Robert Burns’ poetry. This 1955 edition by the State Publishing House of Fiction (GIKHL) is particularly esteemed by bibliophiles for its exceptional artistic merit and its synthesis of various schools of Soviet book illustration.
