Riddle N.F. I. Andronikov I.

For the first time, the articles of I. L. Andronikov, who entered this collection, saw the light in the publishing house "Children's Literature" in the far of 1949. At that time, the book contained only two things: “Portrait” and “Riddle N.F.I.”. Then the book was repeatedly reprinted.

However, over the past twenty years of the work of an outstanding researcher about M. Yu. Lermontov have never been published for the children's and youthful audience. 200th anniversary M.Yu. Lermontova is a great occasion for a new publication, supplemented by materials and illustrations from leading museums and libraries of the country.

so that there is no bewilderment when the events described in the book took place, it must be said that the decoding of mysterious initials and the search for the lost portrait relate By the 1930s (these stories were first printed in 1938, N.F. I. and in 1947 “Portrait”).

Before putting these stories on paper, the author repeatedly told them in His literary concerts, he performed with them on radio and television, according to the novel "Riddle N.F.I." The documentary was shot at the Lenfilm film studio in 1959.

But even today, the stories of Irakli Andronikova are an excellent and exciting reading for those who love and honor their native speech, who are inquisitive and not indifferent to the literary glory of the Fatherland. Who, like the author of the book, is passionate about the unbearable poetry of the eternally young genius of Russian literature Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov.
