Reviews

[Max Nemtsov]

Еще одна книжка из семейной сокровищницы. Детгизовское дешевое (4.50) издание готовила Лидия Чуковская, оно "Школьная библиотека", и в нем прекрасно обозначены перводчики в оглавлении: "Перевод Ушакова", "Перевод Семынина". ...кстати, о переводах (к которым у знатоков Есть Вопросы), да. они несколько заунывны - видимо, так советские переводчики понимали и передавали мелодичность исходника. но, повторю, в детстве мне нравилось - и вот эти гнутые ритмы как-то проникли в меня с ранних лет.
