About this audiobook
"Anna Snegina" of Sergey Esenin is the top work of the poet, his most autobiographical, gentle and at the same time dramatic liro-epic poem. Written on the hole of life, it became a deep reflection of the breakthrough era, a farewell to the deceiving pre-revolution Russian and a gorgeous confession of the lost homeland and lost love. In the center of the story is the poet Sergey, who in the spring of 1917, staying away from the horrors of the First World War, deserting from the front and returning to his native village of Rádovo. There, among the flowing cracks and the peasant life, he suddenly encounters his first youth love - Anna Snow, who is now a married housewife. On the background of their fragile, shattered by memories and half-tones of explanation, a massive historical catastrophe is developing.The revolutionary storm immediately takes down the usual order: the peasant rebellions are burning up, the Snowmen's settlement is confiscated, and Anna's husband dies in the war. Years later, the poet receives from her a stunning letter from a remote London, realizing that everything that was expensive, irreversibly canouled into the past, leaving only a bright sadness. Esenna managed to incredibly thinly interfere with the personal tragedy of two people with the tragedy of a huge country. The image of Anna Snegina, in a white dress on the background of the White Garden, has become one of the cleanest and poetic symbols of the past era in Russian literature. **About what the book in three words:** Love, Revolution, Nostalgia. **Who to read:** To the lovers of great Russian poetry, to the lovers of beautiful romantic stories on the background of historical shocks and to everyone who wants to feel the true Essenian sadness for the irreversibly gone youth.
