The Golden Age of Russian Poetry. Poems for Children

Open the child’s eyes to the amazing world of Russian poetry of the Golden Age — colorful, melodic, and incredibly vibrant.
This book collects the best poems by 12 great Russian poets: Alexander Pushkin, Mikhail Lermontov, Fyodor Tyutchev, Afanasy Fet, Nikolai Nekrasov, and others. Their lines are easy to remember, sound like music, and help one feel the beauty of the Russian language, native nature, and Russian land. Among them are works studied in school, as well as poems that often remain beyond the school curriculum. The book will help middle school students take their first steps into the world of great Russian poetry and discover how beautifully and modernly the lines written many years ago can sound.
The edition is supplemented with interesting facts about the lives and works of the poets and decorated with reproductions of paintings by outstanding Russian artists — K. Bryullov, O. Kiprensky, V. Surikov, I. Repin, I. Levitan, K. Makovsky, — as well as portraits of the poets. These works of art create a vivid image of Russian life in the 19th century and turn reading into a true journey into the world of poetry and art.
A wonderful gift for a young reader and an opportunity for adults to rediscover their favorite lines from the Golden Age of Russian poetry!
