Description

The literary legacy of the wonderful Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva (1892–1941) consists not only of unique poems and epics, verse dramas and tragedies, but also of fascinating—and extremely original—examples of prose. The proposed essay “My Pushkin” is not a work of literary criticism. Rather, it is a psychological sketch—an attempt to revive and reproduce a child’s perception of Pushkin’s work, which—despite all the naivety of this perception—turned out to be the first, indelible school not only of poetic impressions but also of moral concepts.
