Children"s World

The book contains one and a half dozen poems, booms, shafts, teasers, gyrovka, very similar to folk children"s poems. Collected and processed these poems teacher and journalist Ber Smolan. People"s tradition is very important in Jewish children"s poetry. And the book "Children"s World" - she came out in 1923, in Berlin, in the publishing house Schweln ("Things") - shows how this world is spacious and beautiful: it has a place and songs of mom above the bed of your child, and first Toys, and fun, and the most close circle of adults who know how and contralate, and to climb, and most importantly - help in difficulties. And whether it is possible to do without pets, without all these goats, cows, dogs and, of course, kitchen (necessarily with a violin!) - Here they are, the heroes of the old Jewish childhood! Illustration of the artist Issahar-Ber Fisherman (1897-1935) most like pictures that draw kids. But it seems that these illustrations happen the same thing that happened with verses: Ber Smolyar skillfully opochitized children"s songs, - and Issahar-Ber Fisherman borrowed from their children to the Manera and the vision of the world, and in fact created his own Not similar to Jewish childhood. Please pay attention to how it is accurate in relation to what you read: even the smallest details or items are not simply drawn, they seem to come to life and revive the past. The same happens with other, already copyrighted verses collected under this cover. Here you will find several poems of the outstanding Jewish poet of Lev Quitko (1890-1952) His big book "Ring in the ring" came out with the illustrations of the same fisherman artist in 1928 in the city of Kharkov. She was printed on Yiddish, although Lev Kvitko was already translated into Russian, and to other languages. This is understandable. In those distant years on which the poems of Lev Quitko were very popular in children. Read for yourself - and about the wonderful Kisa, which made friends with a small hero of the book, and about the mighty bull, with whom the masterful and good ezra is managed, and about the grandmother of the Mill, guarding all the surrounding animals ... In such and similar plots, the world also comes to life The long-time Jewish childhood, and, despite the past years, he is understandable and dear to us.
