Zhorzh de Godzinskii. S Shaliapinym polgoda i vsiu zhizn' - Gorbunov Nikolai

The book of the international journalist N.I. Gorbunov opens for the reader of the almost unknown in Russia Finnish musician Georges de Godzinsky, who in 1936 accompanied F.I. Chaliapin during his triumphant tours in Japan and China. The author met with the pianist 50 years after these tours while working in Finland, based on these meetings and conversations he wrote a book "Fedor Chaliapin in Japan and China." However, the personality of Godzinsky himself, his fascinating stories about a joint trip with Shalyapin to the Far East, about working with a great Russian artist deserve a separate edition, which the author offers to readers.
