Publisher Description:
A book of Russian poetry.

From the back cover is this translated description from the author:

"The chemist scientist Dmitry Mendeleev,
the periodic table he discovered.
The people knew him as a tactful man.
He introduced himself to students every time,
we should not ignore this tradition, either.
In rhyming text I'll try to do the same.
So here I am, Litvinova Angelina
(my name I shortened on the cover,
I didn't want to spoil it with its length)
My age announced in rhyme.
(A tiny tot I was during wartime).
And later on I studied, cured people,
and even earned an academic title...
My debt "to health" I paid to science.
My daughter, grandkids gave me.
This book to them I dedicated.
I hope they grow and have the best of luck.
These little boys give meaning to my life."
