People, Years, Life

The famous memoirs of Ilya Ehrenburg "People, Years, Life" are rightly considered the most interesting and complete narrative among all written by Russian writers of the 20th century. It is no coincidence that the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation included his memoirs in the list of "one hundred books" recommended for reading. In this volume, Ehrenburg tells about his life, about the cities and countries where he lived, about his friends - great poets, artists, politicians, about the tragic events of World War I and the Civil War, of which he was a witness and participant. Among the author's heroes are P. Picasso, A. Modigliani, D. Rivera, G. Apollinaire, M. Voloshin, M. Tsvetaeva, B. Pasternak, V. Mayakovsky, S. Yesenin, I. Babel, V. Lenin, L. Trotsky, and many others.
