Schoolchildren of our school took an exciting stroll, arranged by teachers Severina O.V. and Samsonova N.I., along the historical site of Peredelkino. They walked by the Church of Transfiguration, literary cemetery, where famous Russian writers are buried, the settlement of writers.
The heart of their trip was the Chukovsky House Museum, where they listened to a very interesting excursion introducing Korney Chukovsky as an outstanding literary translator from English, who discovered names of Mark Twen, Conan Doyle and other English and American writers to Russian readers.
Their guide Pavel Kruchkov, a literary critic, told the children that their neighborhood is rich in translating traditions. There lived such famous translators as Boris Pasternak, Arseny Tarkovsky and others.
