A collection of poems by Nikolai Gumilyov—a wandering poet, a warrior poet, and a knight of the Silver Age. The book includes poems from various years, including the classics "Giraffe," "Captains," and "The Lost Tram."

A knight of the Silver Age, a man with a fearless and fiery soul—thus his contemporaries described Nikolai Gumilyov. He went down in history as the founder of Acmeism and one of the most brilliant lyricists of his time. After his execution in 1921 on false charges, Gumilyov's work was banned for decades, but over time, it has regained its rightful place in Russian literature.

His poems evoke the sound of the surf, the hum of African markets, and the clash of swords—Gumilyov traveled across Africa, fought as a volunteer on the fronts of World War I, and lived as fearlessly as he wrote. His poetry is a reflection on love, loneliness and the eternal question: is it possible to live without betraying one’s dream?
