Running time

This collection includes the best examples of Akhmatova’s work - from the early acmeistic poems from the collections “Evening”, “Roofs” and “White flock” to late verses, as well as the famous “Poem without a hero”. Love and loneliness, the tragedy of the artist who divided the terrible fate of his country and philosophical thoughts, rethinking the events of history and a kind of dialogue with the past - these are the main topics of these poems, marked by beauty and noble grace.
