Silver Age

The Silver Age... A fascinating period in the history of Russian culture, beginning in the late 19th century and interrupted by the October Revolution. It was a time of intellectual insights and social upheaval, widely reflected in Russian art and literature. Along with masterpieces by Alexander Blok and Anna Akhmatova, Sergei Yesenin and Marina Tsvetaeva, the reader will find practically perfect, poetically beautiful poems by dozens of other masters of verse—from the philosopher Andrei Bely to the satirist Sasha Cherny. Before you lies a kind of lyrical diary of the era.
