Poetry. All in One Book

This edition collects works that are convenient for getting acquainted with Alexander Blok or returning to him with new experience. Here are poems about the Beautiful Lady, about inner solitude, about religious and philosophical searches, about a country that is going through a period of upheaval. The early works reach for mystery, for signs and half-shadows, while the later ones sound sharper and more alarming. Due to this selection, the collection allows one to see not just individual well-known works, but the entire logic of Blok's world: from personal feeling to the history and fate of the homeland.
