Breathing Fragrances and Mists... Poems of the Symbolists

This collection presents the best examples of the poetic works of Russian symbolists of the 20th century.
Mystics and scholars, they changed not only the visage of Russian poetry of their time but also influenced its further development.
Russian symbolists such as Valery Bryusov, Konstantin Balmont, Alexander Blok, and Andrei Bely were not just recognized artists and poets. They heard the noise of their era, reacted to it, echoed it, or, conversely, argued with it. And today their poetry remains extremely relevant.
