Description

Lev Annisnky wrote a book about the poets of Russia in the early twentieth-century period—that time in Russian literature that we have become accustomed to calling the Silver Age. Those years are astonishingly dense with great names—Mandelstam, Blok, Yesenin, Pasternak… Sometimes it seems, in Annisnky’s words, that they live in different dimensions, but genius has only one dimension: the pain of truth.
