About the book: 2022 / In May 1911, on the seashore in Koktebel, Marina Tsvetaeva said to Maximilian Voloshin: “- Max, I’ll only get married for the one who from all over the coast guesses what my favorite stone is... And with the stone - it came true, because S.Ya. Efron, whom I married six months later on his eighteenth birthday, almost on the first day we met, dug it out and handed it to me - the greatest rarity! - a Genoese carnelian bead...” This book fulfills the spiritual testament of Ariadne Efron - the common world of her parents is recreated. Complex and inextricable, despite all the separations and troubles. Under one cover are collected the works of “co-cradlers” - Marina Tsvetaeva and Sergei Efron. A single text of love and fate: letters from different years, Tsvetaeva’s poems dedicated to her husband, fragments of prose and notebooks - about him or directly addressed to him, Efron’s youthful story “Childhood” and his later articles, essays about the Civil War, which he went through with The White Army from the Don to the Crimea, the story “Typhus,” where Marina’s constant presence in his soul is especially noticeable... “His trust could have been deceived, but mine in him remains unchanged,” Marina Tsvetaeva said about her husband. And in his youth he realized who his bride was, first saying: “This is the greatest poetess in the world. Her name is Marina Tsvetaeva.” The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
