How many beauties, not similar in appearance and character, did Alexander Sergeevich give his attention to! Not all of those praised by Pushkin reached old age; unfortunately, fate turned out to be too fleeting. And so they remained forever young in Russian poetry... Others, who long outlived the poet, were lucky enough to become eyewitnesses of his posthumous glory and great triumph. And until the end of their days, as their greatest wealth, they kept Pushkin’s dedications, letters and books with dedicatory autographs. This new book by Pushkin scholar Larisa Cherkashina is about the muses of the Russian genius.
