Irina Odoevtseva. Favorite student of Nikolai Gumilyov. Poetess, writer. But above all, she is one of the best memoirists of the first wave of Russian emigration, a true witness of the era, under whose light pen the great poets and prose writers of the Silver Age came to life. The enormous success of the memoirs “On the Banks of the Neva” inspired the writer to create a sequel. This is how the book “On the Banks of the Seine” was born, dedicated to the life of literary, musical and artistic “Russian Paris”. The writer talks in it about her meetings with I. Bunin, I. Severyanin, K. Balmont, Z. Gippius, D. Merezhkovsky and many others during the years when golden pages of the history of art of Russian diaspora were written on the banks of the Seine.
