Tales of Catherine the Great
39.99 €
The great empress of the largest country in the world, and... the writer of fairy tales? It is difficult to imagine Catherine II as a caring grandmother - but it is not for nothing that they say that a talented person is talented in everything!
For her grandchildren, Catherine wrote fairy tales, wishing not only to entertain future sovereigns, but also to teach them a life lesson. These were the first literary works in Russia for children, the main characters of which were also children.
Today’s boys and girls are unfamiliar with these fairy tales: it is difficult for children of the XXI century to understand the language of the XVIII century. That is why we offer them for the first time to young readers in the modern Russian language. In addition, the book includes some little-known tales from the collections of Catherine’s time, as well as edifying stories and instructions composed by the Empress.
An excellent addition to all this are illustrations – classic works of Russian and European painting and masterpieces of Russian book graphics.
