Monotonous Flicker...

Gumilev – a poet yet to be read. A visionary and prophet… – wrote Anna Akhmatova. The name of Nikolai Gumilev was under a ban for a long time, and his works did not appear in print. During his short life, he managed to amaze his contemporaries with pure and powerful words, convincing critics and colleagues who were reluctant to recognize his talent. Gumilev wrote about the heroes of Hellas: Odysseus, Agamemnon, and Heracles, about corsairs, conquistadors, and explorers, about palm groves, ancient temples, and distant tribes, about front-line hunger and victory. Thanks to his poetry, one can embark on a journey through countries and times, continents and epochs, finding the lost treasures of native culture. In the collection Monotonous Flicker… the reader will find vivid, intricately talented, and honest poems of the outstanding poet of the Silver Age.
