The Living and the Dead Word

Eleonora Yakovlevna Galperina (1912–1991) — editor, literary critic and translator, who gifted the Russian reader "The Little Prince", "The Outsider", "Those Who Sing in the Thornbush", numerous stories by Ray Bradbury and Edgar Poe… and "The Living and the Dead Word", compiled from the scraps of her immense translation and life experience.

"The Living and the Dead Word" is a true textbook for translators, editors, and all those who cherish the Russian word. And more broadly — a compendium of invariable rules for the careful handling of the native language.
