I believe in my strength. Diaries of 1922-1935. The second book. Chukovsky K.

K. I. Chukovsky left an extensive creative heritage, including journalism, translations, literary criticism, work on philology, memoirism. Of great interest are the diaries that he led all his life.

This publication publishes the diaries of 1922-1935. This is the time when Chukovsky was in the prime of creative forces, when he was truly all -Union fame and his works for children were specially successful. But this is the time of the most difficult loss and trials: the illness and death of the youngest daughter, who unfolded after the crushing article by N. Krupskaya, the struggle against Chukovshchina, censorship prohibitions to be printed and performed, lack of money.

In the suffocating atmosphere of a literary officialder, the writer was forced to defend his right to freedom of creativity. Many outstanding contemporaries of Chukovsky, with whom he was well familiar with - Akhmatova, Gorky, Mayakovsky, Mandelstam, Zoshchenko, Tynanov, etc., also appear on the pages of diaries.
