Руслан и Людмила

"Just over two centuries ago, Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin wrote his first poem — 'Ruslan and Lyudmila,' which has entered the golden fund of Russian literature. The fairy tale of the brave knight Ruslan and his young wife Lyudmila, kidnapped by... the treacherous wizard Chernomor, has repeatedly inspired composers, artists, and filmmakers.
This work intertwines heroic epic and lyrical sketches, folklore motifs and the author's irony, forming a unique multicolored pattern, while the enchanting music of Pushkin's verses captivates the reader from the very first lines. 'The deeds of long-gone days, the tales of ancient times' come to life in the illustrations of artist Anatoly Zinovievich Itkin."
