THE LAY OF IGOR’S HOST

Short description:

The greatest patriotic poem from Early Rus’. Engravings with an astonishing multitude of facets and emotional intensity become a visual dialogue between Yury Lyukshin, an Honoured Artist of Russia, and the late 12th-century epic’s brilliant author. This publication is made especially valuable by the completely handwritten text executed in ustav, the uncial-style script that is the earliest form of Cyrillic writing.
