Description

A collection of works by the great poet of the 20th century—the finest lyricist and, “perhaps, the most Russian of poets”—Sergey Alexandrovich Yesenin includes the best examples of his immortal poetry and his best-known poems: “Anna Snegina” and “Pugachov.” Photographs of Yesenin and his circle placed in the book, along with masterpieces of Russian painting accompanying the poems, will help the reader tune to the same lyrical wavelength as the poet and dive more fully into the world of his experiences and reflections, passions and poetic revelations.
