Yesenin: promising the meeting ahead. 2nd edition, fixed. Prilepin Z.

Sergey Yesenin is loved as probably no other poet in the world. And in total, both verses and himself as a person. But if you look at his life and work a little more attentive, then harsh and irreconcilable questions immediately arise. Is Yesenin a Soviet poet or anti -Soviet? Christian poet or God -fighter? A poet for a well -worn audience and languid girls or an innovator acting on world poetry and still? A peasant poet or an imaginist? Who did he consider the main rival in poetry and why? Who was really friends with? What are his relations with the Bolshevik leaders? How many children do he have and from how many wives? Which of his women did he really love, finally? Did he drink or was the envious? And if you drank, then who sold it? What was criminal cases for him? Was he a bully, as he wrote about himself, or a victim of circumstances? What did he do for one and a half years while he lived outside Soviet Russia? And finally, suicide or murder? The book gives answers not only to all these questions, but also to many others. Zakhar Prilepin with his inherent brightness and identity in detail, day after day, talks about the life of Sergei Yesenin, drawing unexpected conclusions and forcing him to empathize with him.
