Are we all really locked within the boundaries of our ages? It is known that the first 25 years are a time for games, the second for experience, the third for reflection and conclusions, and the fourth for wisdom. Having collected, together with Dmitry Bykov, the iconic poetic reflections of Russian poets of the 18th - 21st centuries about the ages: youth, youth, maturity, old age - in one book, we are confident that readers will stop worrying about their age and will celebrate every moment of life, because Every age has its advantages. Why should you read this book? “Because time and what it does to a person is the most important theme of art, and the way the poet defends himself from the temptations of youth, the disappointments of maturity and the direct threats of old age is a wonderful example of the creative transformation of life...” Dmitry Bykov.
