History of an old apartment. You cannot be late

MOSCOW. The publishing house "Scooter" published the most important children’s book of the year.

History does not know the subjunctive mood. It is led by people who prefer the imperative. The trajectory changes, knocking out dreams and hopes. On the horizon, behind a falling curtain, are the backs of those who used to be on the way. Collective session of hypnosis and retouching: "Forget what happened to you before." Children are less prone to amnesia and confusion. They are susceptible to truth and easier to read lies. It is important to have time to explain to them very important things, without which it is impossible to grow a decent person. Talk about the value of human life and the unnaturalness of war, that a bad world is always better than a good quarrel, no matter how weighty the arguments in its favor. About the right to happiness, freedom, respect, care and protection of the state.

A good book can help in this important, and not always simple conversation. The history of a large country consists of the fate of many people and is reflected in them. The writer Alexander Litvin and the artist Anna Desnitskaya opened the door to the apartment of the Muromtsev family. The book "The History of the Old Apartment" becomes a real time machine, allowing you to be with them for a century, starting in 1902. From turn to turn, like Ariadne’s thread, she helps to get to 2002, bypassing the joyful, tragic, turning points of history. War, manned flight into space, August coup, repression, Stalin’s funeral, 70s. In amazing illustrations - dumb witnesses of the era. Items that were used in everyday life were worn, read, played. A warm world of worthy people that I want to consider in detail. Desnitskaya and Litvin allow this to be done, revive and bring it closer. The appearance of such a book in the family is an opportunity to talk with children about life without edification and pathos, to think together about complex things, to better understand each other.

The book by Litvina and Desnitskaya aroused great interest at the Frankfurt Book Fair and a real stir at the latest Non / fiction in Moscow. This is not the first work of a creative tandem in the format of a fascinating illustrated encyclopedia. The previous book about the history of transport in different countries - “Metro on the ground and underground” - from the publishing house “Walking to History” was also very popular among readers.
