I came to you with a greeting...

The legacy of Fet is actually much more diverse than the school curriculum suggests. We all know that Fet was an inspired singer of nature, not only Russian but also European, and a wise poet-philosopher. However, in addition to this, he was also the author of the most delicate love lyrics and quite unusual ballads, both realistic and mystical, a good-natured apologist for quiet, idyllic life in Russian noble estates, and an exceptional connoisseur of ancient poetry, skillfully able to stylize his own works after it. All these numerous facets of Fet's remarkable talent are equally reflected in the content of this book.
