Yesenin. Promising the meeting in front. Prilepin Zakhar

Sergey Yesenin is loved as probably no other poet in the world. Moreover - 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.

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? Is the peasant poet or an imaginist? Who was considered the main rival in poetry and why? Who did you 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 did the envious people come up with it? 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 was 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, reflects the biography of Sergei Yesenin, making unexpected conclusions and forcing the reader to be keenly.
