Grandpa’s Glasses, The Clock

All of us still have those fond memories of the books from the erstwhile Soviet Union, which were once extensively circuated here, in Kerala - books of fabulous tales, riveting scientific facts and enchanting illustrations which stole the readers’ hearts. They left in us an indelible impression and an unforgettable reading experience. An experience still ever-green in us, Malayali diaspora. As the Union got dissolved, those charming books of tales too vanished, turning them into cherished memories of nostalgia. Yet, readers have relentlessly been looking for those inimitable books. That was why we, the INSIGHT PUBLICA, published a few of them in the same mode. We are grateful and glad to say that readers whole-heartedly backed us in realizing the project. During the execution of our mission, we could fathom the depth and breadth of a great nation’s remarkable literary project. Those sublime Soviet stories traversed in translation into many a nation and many a language. Those books were ubiquitous-not as merchandise, but as products of culture.
