Category “From a future book.” We are talking about a “French sonnet from the 16th to 19th centuries.” translated by Roman Dubrovkin. “In his translations,” writes poet and translator Natalya Vanhanen in the introduction, “world-famous classics also sounded - Pierre de Ronsard, Joaquim Du Bellay, Agrippa d'Aubigny, Pierre Corneille, Gerard de Nerval, Alfred de Musset, Théophile Gautier , Leconte de Lisle, Charles Baudelaire, Stéphane Mallarmé, Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, Paul Valery, who met for the first time under one cover - and lesser-known poets, whose names the Russian reader has yet to discover.” The author of the introductory note calls the sonnet form “chains that have become freedom.”
