The biography of Marina Tsvetaeva is full of drama, like the fate of many heroes of the Silver Age. And yet the life of this woman poet is not like the life of most of her contemporaries. Struggling with the most difficult reality, overcoming everyday life, Tsvetaeva lived at the heights of the spirit, opening up the vastness of Being to readers. Victoria Schweitzer’s book is a study written on the basis of many years of work in archives, meetings with people who knew Tsvetaeva, and a serious and fruitful analysis of her work. The author tells about his heroine with a wise love of understanding, bringing the reader closer to the unique world of this high and lonely soul.
