About the book: 2009 / Nikolai Gumilev is a great Russian poet, representative of the Silver Age of Russian literature. His fate was truly tragic - according to the verdict of the Bolshevik court, he was shot for allegedly participating in a counter-revolutionary conspiracy (in fact, he simply did not inform on his comrades). Along with high romanticism, Gumilyov’s poems are characterized by the utmost precision of poetic form. This book presents the best works of the poet.
