Samuil Yakovlevich Marshak (1887 – 1964) was a prominent figure in Soviet literature, celebrated for his contributions as a writer, translator, and poet. Marshak's literary endeavors encompassed works tailored for both young audiences and adults. Among his notable achievements were his translations of William Shakespeare's sonnets, English poetry (including pieces suitable for children), and verses from various other languages. Notably, Maxim Gorky lauded Marshak as instrumental in shaping Russia's (Soviet) children's literature.
