We are born for inspiration... Poetry of the Golden Age

The Pushkin era — «a quarter of a century», counted by Pushkin from the date of the establishment of the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum (1811), the 1810—1830s — «the golden age» of Russian poetry. It received its name not for the... sake of eloquence: it was precisely during the antiquity that the term «golden age» was used to describe an era of beauty, goodness, and justice, an era of lost paradise. And indeed, the art of the nineteenth century encompassed the most beautiful and kind, powerful and unique features of Russian culture. With full justification, the culture of this era can be called the paradise of the Russian soul, lost but being regained in the verses of the poets of the Pushkin era. The collection includes lyrical poems by authors who defined the appearance of the «golden age» of Russian poetry: V. Zhukovsky, K. Batюшkov, D. Davыdov, P. Vyazemsky, A. Pushkin, A. Delvig, V. Kyukhelbeker, E. Baratynsky, A. Griboedov, and others.
