Сероглазый король

Anna Akhmatova is a unique phenomenon of the Silver Age. A witness to the change of eras — she survived two world wars, a revolution and the siege of Leningrad. Akhmatova wrote her first poem at the age of 11 — from then until the end of her life, she never stopped engaging in poetry. The mystery of her creativity lies in her ability to sense the intonation of the time and convey it so accurately and piercingly that the heart stops and breath is interrupted. The book includes pearls of Anna Akhmatova's poetry — her early poems from the collections "Evening", "Rosary" and later mature works.
