Garden of Romantic Dreams: Russian Romanticism

The romantic tale — the central genre of Russian prose in the 1830s. Striving for elevated characters and strong passions, romanticism reflected the inner experiences of man. Misty dreams and visions, mysteries, magic, fateful temptations, imitation of German Gothic — all this captivates the reader into a world of feelings and imagination.

The collection includes rare tales by V. Zhukovsky, A. Pogorelsky, A. Bessnuzhev-Marlin, A. Veltman, V. Odoevsky, D. Venewitov, E. Rastopchina, A. Herzen, E. Han, A. Fet.
