Silver Age. Poems

Silver Age... An amazing period in the history of Russian culture, which began at the end of the 19th century and was interrupted by the October Revolution. It was a time of intellectual epiphany and social upheaval that resonated widely... in art and literature. Along with the masterpieces of Alexander Blok and Anna Akhmatova, Sergei Yesenin and Marina Tsvetaeva, the reader will find in the collection poems by dozens of other masters of verse - from the philosopher Vladimir Solovyov to the eccentric and egofuturist Konstantin Olimpov. Before you is a kind of lyrical diary of an era, which, according to Nikolai Otsup, “in terms of strength and energy, as well as the abundance of amazing creatures, has almost no analogues in the West: these are phenomena, as if squeezed into three decades, which took, for example, France throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries." The publication is accompanied by a detailed foreword by critic and literary historian Valery Shubinsky.
