Nikolai Stepanovich Gumilev (1886 -1921) achieved a lot in a short life. One of the bright representatives of the poets of the Russian Silver Age, the author of a dozen poetry collections, was an exacting master of words. High romanticism, sincerity, and deep tragedy of lyricism distinguish the poems and verses of N. Gumilev that are included in this book.
