About the book: year / “Mikhass” is a collection written by the remarkable Russian artist, writer and poet - Mikhass Ksanadze (1959 - 2013). The collection presents works from different periods of the author's creative work. More than 30 illustrations accompany the narrative of each episode of this book. Mihass did not live the longest, but certainly the richest life, in which he could be a brother, a father, and a friend - to all those adults and children around him. You can talk about Mikhass as a nugget, a Russian underground or a new wave, but Mikhass himself did not like and laughed at such definitions. For us, he is simply a Master. For the whole world, he is simply Mikhassik. That's what he liked to be called. A lot of effort was made to ensure that this book reached its reader. All those who cared about this wonderful author, who painted pictures, rhymed poems and composed fabulous prose, will once again plunge into the hospitality of this international Nanny. The book is intended for a wide range of readers of all ages, for those who have not forgotten what Love, Kindness and Friendship are. For us, those who worked on the creation of this memorable example of Mijas’s work, this is not an obituary, but an almanac. Let's remember this bright man by reading this book as if he were sitting at the same table with us and the green lamp was on, and the lemon slices were shaking in the mugs and colorful spoons were laughing.
