Brief description
The Pickwick Papers translated into Russian
Label
Dickens had long been popular in the Soviet Union, partly because Karl Marx, who lived in London at the same time as Dickens, enjoyed his stories. Some even regarded Dickens as a hero of socialism for championing the cause of the poor and working classes. This 1984 edition of The Pickwick Papers was published by Khudozhestvennaya Literatura, a state publishing house in Moscow which printed classic literature. The cartoon-like illustrations were by Sergei Aleksandrovich Kovalenkov, best known for illustrating childrens' books.
