Life on crumbling sands. Gertsyk A.K.

The book contains the texts of the Silver Age writer Adelaide Kazimirovna Hermedyk (1872-1925) of different genres: poems, essays, letters-the period of 1914-1925, when the country experienced the First World War, Revolution, Civil War, Terror. Although the sisters of Hermtsyk were not participants in these events, they were indirectly reflected in their work: verses, prose, letters. “Sivilla”, “Vorozhey” and “Virgin-Vseudya” called Adelaid Hermtsyk criticism of her early poems. So they indicated the indifference of her personality. In the later years of life, these features acquired even greater expressiveness, which allowed Boris Zaitsev to call her "poetess-lodge." The letters of A. Herpsyk from the Family Archive of Herpsyk-Zhukovsky, as well as from state funds are presented: to M.A. Voloshin and a, Petrova (Irly), to M.O. and M.B. Gershenzon (RSL) and Leo Shestov (Sorbonne, France). The publication is supplemented by the little -known "Yalta Diary" S.N. Bulgakova, who also experienced the suffering years (1918-1921) in the Crimea up to his expulsion.
