The new book «Children’s Project», invented and produced by Lyudmila Ulitskaya, introduces the young reader to the variety of family models adopted by us and other peoples. Why is a maternal uncle considered closer to the father in some cultures? What is a brother? Is matriarchy good or bad? How much do brides cost and where are they sold? Where do hereditary diseases come from and why is incest dangerous? The author of the book, Vera Timenchik, a linguist and anthropologist, talks about these and other things easily, cheerfully and naturally, using rich historical, mythological and cultural material.
