Marina Tsvetaeva’s biography is full of drama, like the fates of many heroes of the Silver Age. And yet this woman-poet’s life is not like that of most of her contemporaries. Fighting the hardest reality, overcoming everyday life, Tsvetaeva lived on the heights of the spirit, opening readers to the expanses of Being.
Victoria Schweitzer’s book is a study written on the basis of many years of work in archives, meetings with people who knew Tsvetaeva, and serious, fruitful analysis of her work. The author tells about her heroine with wise love and understanding, bringing the reader closer to the unique world of this high and lonely soul.
