Flowers — a special chapter in Russian poetry; they are both a symbol and a sign and an embodiment of pure beauty. Flowers enchant the soul and comfort the heart, give rise to dreams and awaken memories, inspire and bring joy. The poetic lines of Russian classics of the 19th–20th centuries — Konstantin Balmont and Anna Akhmatova, Afanasy Fet and Ivan Bunin, Valery Bryusov, Igor Severyanin and other masters — will lead the reader into a floral garden, made possible on the pages of this book: here, in the magnificent paintings of Petersburg artist Maria Pavlova, the timid first lily of the valley coexists with the charming dahlia, the bright flashes of poppies shade the porcelain pallor of lilies, and the modest cornflowers greet the serene daffodils. Each of them has its own mood, brilliantly woven into exemplary and picturesque poetic lines and framed by luxurious illustrations — to become a true adornment of the reader's library.
