Czech writer and poet Ludvik Ashkenazy (1921–1986) was published in Russian once - in 1967. He is best known around the world as a children's author (he was even awarded the German State Prize for the best children's book). This edition includes novels and stories without an “age limit” - they are addressed to everyone old enough to read about love and war, but not yet old enough to say: “I already know all this.”
