Inscription on the Stone

The best poems of Bulat Okudzhava under one cover. 

This edition includes poems from different years, including such famous ones as "Song of the Cadets", "Your Excellency, Madam Separation...", "Arbat Yard" and "Take your overcoat, go home."

Bulat Okudzhava participated in the Great Patriotic War, taught children the Russian language and literature, worked as an editor in a publishing house, performed concerts, and his rich experience became an inexhaustible source of ideas for his works. Reading or listening to his poems and songs, you involuntarily experience the same feelings as the lyrical heroes — a bright longing for the childhood left in the past, the hope with which the hours of love hurry through the Moscow streets, and the pain that torments the soldier after the war is over.
