The candle was burning... Pasternak B.

This edition presents the creative heritage of one of the greatest Russian poets, the Nobel Prize laureate Boris Leonidovich Pasternak (1890–1960). From the early “frantic” verses he went to the “stunning simplicity” of late lyrics. For many generations of readers, his works are loved as a pure sound in a deafening noise of the era. According to Tsvetaeva, Pasternak will never have a “square”, but there will be “many lonely, lonely many thirsty, whom he, a secluded spring, is stating.” The book includes selected poems by B. L. Pasternak of different years.
