Anatoly Konenko, master of book microminiatures, created the world's smallest edition of Pushkin's The Captain's Daughter. The size of the book is 48x32 mm. The master handed over the miniature to the Orenburg library, TASS reports.

The new book has replenished the Orenburg collection of this work, which currently has 478 editions in 42 languages. It is noted that the master took up a miniature edition of Pushkin's work, having learned that editions of The Captain's Daughter, published in Russia and abroad, are being collected in Orenburg.

It took Anatoly Konenko six months to create almost 40 illustrations for the work, after which the master of miniature books bound the product.

For more than 40 years, Anatoly Konenko, who lives in Omsk, has published over 200 books. Thanks to his work, his name is included in the Guinness Book of Records.

For the bicentenary of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Omsk released a series of microbooks of the Russian classic - Crime and Punishment, Notes from the House of the Dead, etc.
