Description

Kоровин began writing his memoirs "My Life" back in Russia and finished them in France. In this book, written simply, naturally, freshly, and without affectation, an amazing world of Russian art comes alive before the reader—of the legendary Silver Age (about which someone close to the Symbolists, Korovin, knew everything there was to know), along with the brightest personalities of that time whom fate brought to the author’s path: Chekhov and Vrubel, Levitan and Repin, the author’s close friend Serov, and many others.

In addition to the memoirs, the collection also includes Korovin’s stories and essays created in emigration, enchanting the reader with a bright, sad, and dreamy grief for the "lost time" of an irreversible past.
