Balmont. Kupriyanovsky P.V., Molchanova N.A.

Few poets experienced such enchanting glory in life as Konstantin Balmont (1867-1942), according to V. Bryusov’s jealous remark, “a decade that reigned inseparably in Russian poetry.” The book that glorified him “We will be like the Sun” called for life joyful, bright, bright, daring. And his life was like this: early glory, violent love, travel to exotic countries, several forced emigrations, and finally, the latter, which turned the "solar genius" into a stepson of Russian literature for almost half a century... and at the same time the unprecedented performance of Balmont - Poetic, prosaic, translation - amazes the imagination. P.V. Kupriyanovsky and N. A. Molchanov, researchers of the poet’s work, represent the reader’s court of the first experience of the full biography of Balmont, “The Poet with the Morning Soul”.
