"Line by Line" is a unique book, created from a documentary film by Oleg Dorman, in which the brilliant translator Lilianna Lungina spends several hours on screen reminiscing year by year about her eventful life, which spanned the last three quarters of the twentieth century. Lilianna Lungina is a renowned master of literary translation. Thanks to her, Russian readers were introduced to Astrid Lindgren's "Karlsson-on-the-Roof" and "Pippi Longstocking," as well as novels by Hamsun, Strindberg, Böll, Simenon, Vian, and Ajar. As a child, she lived in France, Palestine, and Germany, and in the early thirties, at the age of thirteen, she returned to her homeland, the USSR. The life of this remarkable woman profoundly captured the twentieth century. Her captivating oral memoir combines a chronicle of a dramatic era with a confessional account of the life of the soul.
