In a State Literature Museum a new exhibition was open, dedicated to 125th anniversary since the birthday of Korney Chukovskiy. The exhibition is titled “Neistovy Korney” (or “Vehement Korney”).
The exhibition shows many biographic documents, books of different editions, newspaper articles written by critics, letters, diaries and everything that can declare the deepest and many-sided identity of Korney Ivanovich. Korney Chukovskiy was not only a famous juvenile author, but also a brilliant literary critic of the beginning of the 20th century, a good expert of the oeuvre of Nekrasov and Chekhov, a poet, a translator of many masterpieces of foreign literature, a philologist.
The exhibition “Neistovy Korney” is an attempt to tell about different sides of the writer’s creative activity, about his life, not always restful and happy, about his character and vehement interest to people and their talents, to children and their pauseless creativeness. The exhibition is supposed to declare the true identity of the writer, his “unity of variety”.
The exhibition will be held from March 30 till July 30, 2007.
