Condizione: Very good plus to near fine. First edition thus, the first printing of graphic artist Konashevich's illustrated edition of the cheerful, musical poem about "the most famous fly in Soviet children's literature" - known for its veiled anti-Stalin message. First published in 1924 as MUKHINA SVAD'BA, in this book a simple fly is captured and almost killed by a spider, which has traditionally been read as an allusion to Stalin. While some demanded the book be banned, Chukovsky's reputation as a central figure in the field kept the book in circulation. Called "the greatest innovator and pathfinder in Soviet children's literature" (Maria Nikolajeva), Chukovsky tried to help threatened artists under Stalin by providing them with work and connections. Svetlana Boym describes the connection between children's literature and avant-garde artists in the Soviet era: "Children's literature had a unique function in the Soviet tradition: from the 1930s through the 1970s it served as the last refuge of the Soviet avant-garde. In the 1930s, many experimental poets, including Oleinikov and Kharms, later killed in Stalin's camps, were given work by Kornei Chukovsky [.] Thus, memories of childhood, the history of the oppression of alternative art and compromised strategies of survival are closely linked for an ex-Soviet artist." All early editions of this book are scarce. 8.75'' x 7''. Original side-stapled color printed wrappers designed by Konashevich. Illustrated by Konashevich in black and white throughout. [16] pages. "Printed in Soviet Union" faintly stamped on title page. A couple small nicks to wrapper edges, crease in one corner from former bend. Light marginal toning to text, overall quite clean.…

Condizione: Good. Sixth, expanded edition, 1 of 5000 copies; 9 1/2 x 6 1/4; pp. [5], 6-165, [3]; pictorial wraps, designed by Evgenii Belukha; illustrated with portrait frontis of the author; rebacked, with several repairs to edges of wraps; in good to very good condition.Hailed as the Russian equivalent of Dr. Seuss, beloved poet andf author Korney Chukovsky (1882 - 1969) would be the second one to translate and popularize Walt Whitman in his country, while he was still in his early 20s. The first one would be one of giants of the Silver Age Konstantin Balmont (1867 - 1942),whom Chukovsky would consider a life-long rival and would mercilessly criticize his translations of Whitman. In fact, Korney dedicated part of his current work to specifically lambast Balmont's "Shoots of Grass" (his translation of "Leaves of Grass"). The other sections of the book featured his own translation of parts of "Leaves of Grass," as well as a biography of Walt, etc. Ultimately, Balmont would be mostly forgotten as a translator of Whitman, while Chukovsky's name would become synonymous with the latter's presence in Russian poetry.Evgenii Belukha (1889 - 1943), who illustrated the wraps, was a renowned artist and graphic designer of the early 20th century, who would also be remembered for his porcelain Soviet propaganda paintings.…
