"...everyone was always in love: if not truly, then at least they convinced themselves they were; they fanned the slightest spark of anything resembling love with all their might," wrote Vladislav Khodasevich of his contemporary poets. Indeed, the poets of the Silver Age lived in love, breathed it. Their complex relationships prevented them from suppressing the most important thing—the ability to feel, to sense the world—as contradictory as it is. Anna Akhmatova and Nikolai Gumilyov, Georgy Ivanov and Irina Odoevtseva, Vladimir Mayakovsky and Lilya Brik, Sergei Yesenin and Isadora Duncan... Reading these love stories, at some point one becomes terrified at the mere thought that a person can simultaneously experience so many ambiguous emotions. This book, which tells about the lives, loves, and final days of the poets of the Silver Age, was created by an associate professor of the Department of English Philology and Linguocultural Studies at St. Petersburg State University—an author of lectures on Russian culture, literature, and art.
