The Art Of Comics In Norway

On May 30, MSLU students could attend a lecture from the Norwegian Publishing House NO COMPRENDO, a publisher of comics and graphic novels. They learnt about the leading trends in the genre and saw some of the recently published books. The lecture was part of the cultural programme associated with the exhibition of the famous Norwegian painter Edvard Munch in the Tretyakov Gallery. NO COMPRENDO has released a graphic biography of Munch, created by Steffen Kverneland, a Norwegian illustrator and comics writer, which was also published in Russian for the opening of the exhibition. It was translated into Russian by the Head of the Department of the Scandinavian, Dutch and Finnish languages Evgeniya V. Vorobyova (MSLU) in collaboration with Yelena S. Rachinskaya.
