(CHILDREN'S/RUSSIAN/SPACE). [All text in Cyrillic] KLUSHANTSEV, Pavel. (To Other Planets). Title in Cyrillic: К другим планетам!
(Leningrad: Detgiz, 1962). Second, revised edition. 4to., orig. cloth backed pictorial paper boards, (78)pp. Profusely illustrated in colour. Some wear to the edges of the boards but certainly a very good copy of this Russian juvenile about space travel.
Pavel Vladimirovich Klushantsev [1910-1999] Russian cameraman, film director, producer, screenwriter, and author who worked during the Soviet Era. Klushantsev graduated from the Leningrad Fototechnikum in 1930 and worked as a cinematographer for four years. In 1934, he began working at Lenfilm / Lennauchfilm, where he became a director and producer, primarily making science educational films including his visionary film – Road to the Stars (1957). His only feature film was Planet of the Storms (1962). The film was subsequently re-edited and expanded by Roger Corman for American distribution – as Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet (1965) by Curtis Harrington, and as Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women (1968) by Peter Bogdanovich. In both these versions, the original scenes drew acclaim.
In addition to his film work, Klushantsev was famous as the author of popular juvenile science books. The above title is one such example, first published in 1959, but re-issued in an updated version in 1962— the updates are largely on the last leaf and cover the launches and events that occurred since 1959.
