Abstract

Wow! Thirteenth edition, stretching from 1949 to 1957! Gutman's black and white illustrations have a touch of the political and satirical. The picky character of the bride on 4 is clear, as is the intent of the wolf smiling at the lamb in a full-page illustration on 19. As I get further into this engaging book, I realize that we already have copies of the editions of 1950, 1951, and 1968. As I wrote earlier, the sketches and line-drawings by Nachum Gutman are a delight! A favorite illustration of mine is "The Monkey with the Spectacles" on 27. Also nicely done is "The Ass and the Nightingale" on 79. "The Old Man Planting a Tree" on 108 takes a different perspective on the scene than I have noticed before. Is that "Trishka's Kaftan" on 139? This fellow needs some more clothes to cover his body! I am struck reading through this book how much Krylov was indebted to La Fontaine. One last question: On 251 is that the wife visiting her husband in "hell"? The cloth front cover has an embossed picture of the poet.
