EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic and intellectual figure of Samuel Marshak (1887-1964), a renowned Russian writer and translator, known for his satirical wit and prolific body of work. Marshak's literary career spanned several decades and genres, but he is perhaps best remembered for his translations of English poets, including the works of William Shakespeare. Born in Moscow in 1887, Marshak began his literary journey as a satirist, using his sharp pen to critique Russian society and politics. However, his love for English literature led him to become a prolific translator, bringing the works of great English poets to the Russian-speaking world. Marshak's translations of Shakespeare's plays and poems were particularly noteworthy, as he managed to capture the nuances and complexities of the Bard's language while making them accessible to a new audience. This photograph, taken in 1964, captures Marshak in the later years of his life, with a thoughtful expression and a hint of mischief in his eyes. The image serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as a writer and translator, who bridged the gap between two literary traditions and enriched the cultural landscape of Russia. Marshak's contributions to children's literature are also worth mentioning, as he wrote and translated numerous works that continue to delight and inspire young readers to this day. This photograph is a precious reminder of the life and work of a remarkable literary figure, whose influence on Russian literature and culture continues to be felt to this day. It is a privilege to share this image with you, and we hope it inspires you to explore the works of this brilliant writer and translator.
