Lidia Korneevna Chukovskaya (1907-1996) - literary scholar, memoirist, critic, writer, poet, whose creative legacy is diverse, yet absolutely cohesive. Everything created by her - echoes of the personal life experience of the daughter of a famous father, friend of many celebrated contemporaries, editor, human rights activist... Such are her "Notes on Anna Akhmatova", the monograph "In the Editor's Laboratory"…
The artistic works included in this collection by Lidia Chukovskaya - the novellas "Sophia Petrovna", "Descent into Water" and "Dash" - were created directly in response to the tragic events that befell the author, capturing the personal dramas of the era through the eyes of a witness and participant.
