| Publisher Description: English-Russian Bilingual Edition of the famous collection of poems by Edward Lear (1812-1888). The idea of translating of these alphabets into any language would be an utter absurdity, but since the text of Lear itself is absurd, such an attempt is completely justified by this very fact. We didn't try to transform the English Alphabets into Russian ones, but wanted to keep their Englishness and publish them in a bilingual format that should not only be pleasant, but quite useful especially to those Russian-speaking readers who study English or those English-speaking readers who want to learn Russian. The book is illustrated by the drawings of Edward Lear himself and is designed for children aged from 3 to 105 (or more). |
