Portraits of Russian Poets

by Ilya Ehrenburg

Ilya Ehrenburg's 'Portraits of Russian Poets' is a collection of insightful essays on prominent figures of the Russian Silver Age, a period of immense cultural and artistic flourishing in early 20th-century Russia. Ehrenburg, himself a renowned writer and journalist, offers personal perspectives and critical analyses of poets like Akhmatova, Balmont, Blok, Esenin, Mayakovsky, and others. The essays delve into their lives, works, and the social and political contexts in which they wrote, providing valuable insights into the complexities of Russian literature and the creative spirit of the era. While the book presents a biographical aspect, it also explores the evolution of poetic trends, the poets' individual styles, and their impact on Russian cultural life.
