Presented for your attention is “The Tale of Sonyechka” by Marina Tsvetaeva, performed by Dmitry Bykov.
The book tells about the most romantic period in the poet’s life—her Moscow life in 1919–1920.
“I want to resurrect that whole world—so that they all didn’t live in vain—and so that I didn’t live in vain!” Tsvetaeva embodied this desire in the story where, as she put it, “there were no characters. There was love. It acted through people.”
The audiobook also includes a lecture—a story by Dmitry Bykov about the author and the work read.
