Anna Akhmatova: The Glove from the Left Hand. Selected Works

"I taught women to speak." The last representative of the Silver Age, "Sappho of the 20th century," Anna Akhmatova made the female voice sound — loud and bright, like never before in Russian literature.

Bitter, unrequited love and jealousy, feelings of loss and loneliness, anticipation of a cherished meeting and parting, joys and pains of creativity — her poetic genius encapsulated the entire palette of experiences familiar to every woman in verses that are at once simple and profound.

This book includes selected poems from different years, as well as the poem "By the Sea" and the cycle "Epic Motifs."
