  After Pastime – (Other Language)

  $13.99

  A book of Russian poetry.
  From the back cover is this translated description from the author:
  “The chemist scientist Dmitry Mendeleev,
  the periodic table he discovered.
  The people knew him as a tactful man.
  He introduced himself to students every time,
  we should not ignore this tradition, either.
  In rhyming text I’ll try to do the same.
  So here I am, Litvinova Angelina
  (my name I shortened on the cover,
  I didn’t want to spoil it with its length)
  My age announced in rhyme.
  (A tiny tot I was during wartime).
  And later on I studied, cured people,
  and even earned an academic title…
  My debt “to health” I paid to science.
  My daughter, grandkids gave me.
  This book to them I dedicated.
  I hope they grow and have the best of luck.
  These little boys give meaning to my life.”
