Russian proverbs and sayings in illustrations. History and origin, Sklyar P.A.

This album is the first domestic experience of systematic understanding and visual display of Russian proverbs and sayings, which make up an integral part of the Russian language and Russian culture. It is impossible to overestimate the meaning of sayings, because they contain a colossal experience accumulated by our ancestors over tens and hundreds of centuries, and cover almost all aspects of human life. Even a general acquaintance with Russian proverbs and sayings will not only enrich the speech with unique language turns, but also more deeply understand the original, figurative-mystical perception of the world by our ancestors, to join the unique cultural code of the Russian people. Each of the proverbs and sayings that are carefully assembled by Peter is accompanied by an author’s illustration, reflecting the multifaceted meaning of folk wisdom.
