DESCRIPTION:
As engaging today as when it originally appeared, this book has two parts. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The first describes the colorful life of two artist-puppeteers and their travels through the famine and revolution torn land, into remote oriental provinces. It tells just how the author conceives her plays, and make and works her puppets, whether they be hand-puppets, shadow figures or the special hand and rod combination type she evolved. No other book has gone so deeply into the heart of the artist using puppets. The Efimovs invented an original design of puppets on rods, which enabled them, by way of experiment, to stage scenes from "Macbeth".. The second is the practical part. 2012 Reprint of 1935 Edition
"19th and 20th century Russian puppetry" according to tnt. This book was ordered on a whim to see what earrly puppetry in Russia was like. Disappointed - NO the book is divided into 2 parts the early days of working with puppets and the second half was the early construction of the puppet, rod puppet, marionette etc Not a dull page in the fact finding book and how the Russian puppeteers used their imagination and creativit
