This book is a detailed documentary biography of one of the greatest Russian poets, whose life has become legendary, and whose poetry is one of the pinnacle events of the Silver Age. Gumilev is presented within the broad context of his era and country: within its pages, the reader will find a description of the Russian gymnasium education system, colorful details of Abyssinian history, little-known events of the First World War, biographical details of Parisian occultists, poems by half-forgotten poets, and century-old newspaper advertisements. The book is unprecedented in its scope of documentary material; the author analyzes numerous memoirs and reviews of Gumilev's contemporaries (including unpublished ones), letters, and diaries. The book contains over two hundred archival photographs, many of which are being published for the first time, and an appendix contains a selection of poetic responses to Gumilev's death.
