Vasily Terkin. Poems. Poems. Tvardovsky A.T.

“What freedom, what a wonderful dare, what accuracy, accuracy in everything and what an extraordinary folk soldier language - no bitch, no bitch, not a single false word!” - wrote I. A. Bunin about the poem “Vasily Terkin” by Alexander Tvardovsky, an outstanding Russian poet with a dramatic fate.

The poem “Vasily Terkin” became one of the heights of the poet’s work, in which the folk soul came to life throughout the fullness. The book also includes the poems “House by the road”, “For Far- Dahl”, “Terkin in the next world”, “By the right of memory” (published only in 1987), which describes the tragic fate of the father of Twardowski- a dispossessed and exiled peasant-peasant blacksmith; Landscape lyrics, military poems and poems of recent years, stories and essays.
