This rare book can be a wonderful gift for lovers of poetry and beautiful flora at the same time.
Almost 400 works by hundreds of Russian poets are presented here not by epochs or authors' names, but by the "heroes" of these poems, flowers. Chapters of the book - as amazingly beautiful portraits of three dozen flowers - "soundless music of the earth": from peonies, roses and carnations to jasmine, lotus and cherry. You will hear this music thanks to the skill of poets of different epochs - from Pushkin's time to the beginning of XX century, through classicism and romanticism to modernism and avant-garde. The poems of great Russian poets and impressive paintings by Russian artists form a symbiosis, opening new facets of perception of nature and human feelings. Embark on a journey through the pages of cultural history, in which each flower is a key to understanding the depth of the Russian soul.
