Summary

There are few better ways to discover the identity of a nation or people than by listening to their poetry. From historical events to moral values to the political landscape (and often visions of the actual landscape), poetry, at its best, reveals the soul of a people. And Russia has offered us some of the very best. 

Although literary giants like Fyodor Dostoevsky and Leo Tolstoy, sometimes, seem to have taken the lion’s share of acclaim among Russian authors, there are others we cannot afford to overlook, and you’ll have the privilege of encountering some of them in this collection.

Great poetry but with big problem

The poetry is fab of course, however, it would have been nice and intelligent to name the poets that have written the individual poems! Neither in the Kindle book nor in the audio file are we told who wrote the poems.

Such an incredible book!

I am honestly very impressed with the quality of this lit book. Short, sweet and to the point. You will be getting a dose of Russian culture in a bite sized chunk for a great price. Do yourself a favor and buy this book. Especially if you love Russian culture.
