"I have taught women how to speak." The last representative of the Silver Age, the "Sappho of the 20th century," Anna Akhmatova made the female voice heard—loudly and vividly, as never before in Russian literature.
Bitter, unrequited love and jealousy, a sense of loss and loneliness, the anticipation of a cherished meeting and the pain of parting, the joys and torments of creativity—her poetic genius captured the entire palette of emotions familiar to every woman in verses that are both simple and profound. This book includes selected poems from various years, as well as the poem "By the Very Sea" and the cycle "Epic Motifs."
