Recenzii
"A Companion to Soviet Children’s Literature and Film is essential reading for anyone interested in Soviet children’s culture. I would also recommend it to readers wanting to widen their perspectives on Russian culture in general. The images of famous avant-garde authors gain new dimensions through their works for children, and making acquaintance with hero narratives and historical fiction for children offers new approaches to the same themes in both literature and cultural studies. The illustrations chosen for the book give the reader a glimpse of the visual abundance of Soviet children’s literature and film."
Jenniliisa Salminen, University of Turku, Finland, in Russian Review 79
"A particularly attractive feature of the Companion is the inclusion of rare colour and black and white images of book covers, book excerpts, feature film and animation stills. The volume has detailed footnotes, an extensive bibliography and a good index. This Companion makes for engaging and inspiring reading; it would benefit Russian scholars and students, as well as a general audience seeking to expand their knowledge of the complex impact that Soviet children’s literature and film had on the nation and its citizens."
Natallia Kabiak, University of Melbourne, in Australian Slavonic and East European Studies, volume 34.
“The reader should prepare himself for a fascinating collection of brilliant, thought-provoking essays. This book shows how far scholarly work on children´s culture and childhood in Slavic studies has come in the last few decades and provides insights into an impressive and flourishing field of research [...] This book is a major accomplishment that offers valuable insights into the complex ways in which childhood and children’s culture were dealt with in the Soviet Union. It deserves many readers and will certainly spark further discussions and inspire new ideas.“
