Description

This book presents the first biography in Russian of the great French storyteller Charles Perrault (1628-1703), author of "Cinderella" and "Puss in Boots," "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Bluebeard" - tales familiar to each of us since childhood. In his lifetime, he was known above all as the author of pompous poems and treatises, and also as an official in charge of the official glorification, in works of literature and art, of King Louis XIV, and as an academician (and at one time even chairman) of the French Academy. Yet true immortality through the centuries was brought to him by eight short tales, which he published under the name of his son Pierre in the collection "Tales of Mother Goose" in 1696.
