Vasily Terkin. Poems

«What freedom, what wonderful bravado, what accuracy, precision in everything and what an extraordinary folk soldier's language — no knots, no flares, not a single false word!» — wrote I. A. Bunin about the poem «Vasily Terkin» by Alexander Tvardovsky — an outstanding Russian poet with a dramatic fate. The poem «Vasily Terkin» became one of the peaks of the poet's work, in which the folk soul came to life in all its fullness. This book allows the reader to touch the living Russian word and walk together with Tvardovsky's lyrical hero along the paths of war.
