Описание:
This volume contains a selection of early works by Yevgeny Alexandrovich Yevtushenko who blazed a trail for a generation of Soviet poets with a confident poetic voice that moves effortlessly between social and personal themes. «Zima Junction» vividly describes his idyllic childhood in Siberia and his impressions of home after a long absence in Moscow. Private moments are captured in «Waking», on the joys of discovering the unexpected in a lover, and «Birthday», on a mother's concern for her son, while «Encounter» depicts an unexpected meeting with Hemingway in Copenhagen. «The Companion» and «Party Card» show war from a child's eye, whether playing while oblivious to German bombs falling nearby or discovering a fatally wounded soldier in the forest, while Yevtushenko's famous poem, «Babiy Yar», is an angry expose of the Nazi massacre of the Jews of Kiev.

Описание:
From his teenage years in provincial Russia to his premature death in 1904, Anton Chekhov wrote thousands of letters to a wide range of correspondents. This fascinating new selection tells Chekhov's story as a man and a writer through affectionate bulletins to his family, insightful discussions of literature with publishers and theatre directors, and tender love letters to his actress wife. Vividly evoking landscapes, people and his daily life, the letters offer revealing glimpses into Chekhov's preoccupations — the onset of tuberculosis, his dual careers as doctor and writer, and his ambivalence about his growing reputation as Russia's foremost playwright and author. This volume takes us inside the mind of one of the world's great writers, and the character that emerges from these pages is resilient, generous, charming and life enhancing.
