Burning Letters

The inexhaustible power of the poet Nikolai Nekrasov lies in the special trustworthiness of his artistic word: it is addressed to the hidden aspects of human nature, oppressed by everyday life, tested by social conflicts. The problems are eternal, but Nekrasov's word heals the wounds of the soul and strengthens the spirit. The literary legacy of the poet is extensive and diverse in genres. The book also includes the famous Panaev cycle — an amazing monument of love lyrics from the 19th century — as well as philosophical lyrics and poems addressed to children, and Nekrasov's powerful civil lyrics, whose creativity is consistently gaining interest.
