Chekhov "For contribution to Russian literature." News, interviews and reviews: The Publishing House "Time" brings condolences to all relatives and friends of the poet! Boris Natanovich Pasternak writes: “He did not reach the flight quite a bit that will happen on January 8 - now without him. His new book of poems for children stands in the December plan of the Publishing House of Time.

He was very waiting for it. He did not reach the fly, which will happen on January 8th - now without him. Of course, it will come out to the anniversary - but now without it. And the name of this book will be symbolic for me forever, as if about Misha himself-“just a miracle, not me” read further and the name of his previous book is now being read otherwise-“once forever”. I wrote an annotation to that book.

It’s good that all these words told Misha during his lifetime, that he read them. Today I will simply repeat them: “Mikhail Yasnov created this book all his life. He has already published books for children and adults for more than a hundred, but in “Once Forever” he brought all the best that he wrote - for himself and about himself. His first children's book was called “Cure for Zevota” - this is a healing property for his work.

And one of the recent adult books is called “Ambidecster”, that is, the master on both hands - writes and translates. What are you new to learn about Yasia after "once forever"? But what: it will become finally clear to you that Mikhail Yasnov is not only one of the best translators of our time, not only the favorite writer of millions of Russian children, but also an outstanding lyrical poet.

” Condolences to all relatives.
