Demon

Eight editions, ten years of work intermittently, a deeply personal work about the eternal confrontation between Good and Evil, which marked the end of Russian romanticism - all this is about the poem "Demon".

For the first time, Lermontov addressed its concept as a fifteen-year-old young man, and since then the image of the Demon (a rebellious spirit consumed by passions and doomed to eternal solitude) has haunted the poet's creativity and pursued him until his tragic demise.

The collection also includes poems from different years that represent Lermontov's creative life before and after "Demon": "Corsair", "Criminal", "Two Brothers", "Two Slaves", "Giulio", "Azrael", "Angel of Death", "Confession", "Sailor", and "Tale for Children".
