The Black Man

"Life is a cheap but necessary thing. I am the "God's Flute" - said Sergey Yesenin shortly before his mysterious death. A hooligan, a spendthrift, the "last poet of the village," a regular at Moscow taverns - none of these... definitions captures the mysterious essence of the great Russian poet, who possessed, according to Andrei Bely, a "huge and fragrant talent." Again and again, readers seek their own ways to understand Yesenin, confronting the power of his lyrical gift. It is no coincidence that Maxim Gorky recalled one of the performances of the famous hooligan: "he stirred me to the point of spasms in my throat, I wanted to cry."

The book includes selected poems by the poet, the poems "Inonia" and "The Black Man," the story "Yar," as well as the memories of Vladislav Khodasevich about Sergey Yesenin, who became a true symbol of the Russian Silver Age. The edition is accompanied by illustrations by Oleg Redium.
