World Read Aloud Day, celebrated on February 1 at the Pushkin House-Museum, “gave” to many people the forgotten Russian writer, historian Alexander Veltman, who became famous during his lifetime, a Kishinev acquaintance of Alexander Pushkin. In 1986, Veltman’s novel “The Wanderer” was published in Moldovan by the publishing house “Literatura Artistica”, and artist Mihail Brunea drew a series of witty illustrations for the novel.
