This groundbreaking anthology presents a century of Russian writing for children-from the Soviet era to the present-bringing together classic and contemporary works, many translated into English for the first time, in a richly curated volume that is both academically informed and fully accessible to children, parents, and adult readers alike.
A Hundred Years of Childhood: An Anthology of Russian Writing for Children, 1917-2017 is the first of two volumes featuring works for children and teens in English translation, many for the first time. Volume One focuses on literature for younger children; it includes short pieces and excerpts from longer works, combining poetic and prose texts written by thirty-six renowned children's authors from the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Eighteen translators contributed to the anthology, bringing a rich range of voices to the English-language texts. This book will appeal to a wide range of readers, including teachers and students of Slavic studies, childhood studies, caregivers and parents of young children, and anyone interested in Russian children's literature and culture.
