The Sleeping Princess. Tales and Ballads

The Sleeping Princess. Tales. Ballads. Zhukovsky V.A.. This collection includes the main works of the remarkable Russian poet Vasily Andreyevich Zhukovsky, whose name is inseparably linked with the magical and mysterious world of fairy tales and ballads. Zhukovsky's work reflects... a poetic view of the world and fidelity to high moral feelings. In his fairy tales, heroes endowed with love for people, valor, and courage invariably triumph, while the mystical characters of his romantic ballads embark on a path of enlightenment and spiritual awakening.
Many ballads of well-known foreign authors were translated into Russian for the first time by Zhukovsky.
Zhukovsky's works are included in the school curriculum for literary reading and are addressed to students of primary and secondary school ages.
The texts of the works are presented unabridged, printed on good quality paper in large font, and contain color illustrations by Z. Yarinoi.
The average format and light weight of the publication make it convenient for home or school libraries and an unobtrusive load in a student's backpack.
