Will. Gumilyov N.

“Not only the search for beauty, but also the beauty of searches” - such a definition of Gumilyov’s poems was given by I.F. Annensky. The poet’s life filled with events tragically ended in August 1921: he was arrested on suspicion of participating in an anti -Soviet conspiracy and shot by the Chekists. For many years, Gumilyov’s poems were banned in the Soviet Union. His early romantic verses sang conquistadors, caravels, knights, exotic countries, pearls and roses. But the mature Gumilev remained in the history of Russian literature as a singer of perfect courage, the author of the finest love lyrics and poet-philosophist. This publication will fully enjoy the talent of one of the most striking and significant poets of the Silver Age and trace his creative path from the first steps to the peak of skill and glory.
