These fables show how the Russian author has used language to express double meanings. The witticisms included in this collection of stories are based on a play upon words and phrases and their word components.The witticisms are stylistic devices most often used by Russian speakers to achieve a humorous effect.The fables have been chosen and newly translated and edited by Tamara Moreton, author of the Practical Russian Reader series, and novelist Alan Moreton, author of The Book Traveller and At the World's End among other English novels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Moreton,Tamara Moreton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1514330067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781514330067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.14d","brand":"Alan Moreton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459193123071,"sku":"9781514330067","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68ec5c63-6503-4aec-91ba-2efe29771bde.jpg?v=1777408473","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modern-russian-fables-alan-moreton-9781514330067","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
