3.0 out of 5 stars Heavy on Heritage, light on explanation, March 27, 2001

jrgreenw "jrgreenw" (Encino, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Heritage of Russian Verse (Paperback)

This is essentially a dual language Russian/English survey of the last eight hundred years of Russian poetry, from the Lay of Igor' to early post-war period. There is no explanation of the context or stature of the various poets, and the poems selected are not among the best from particular authors in my opinon (Blok, Akhmatova, Tikhin, etc.) but there's not a lot out there competing, either. Russian poetry is very moving, classically structured and lyrical. This survey doesn't really do it justice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Creating Russian Memories, January 6, 2009

lillian mills (idaho) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Heritage of Russian Verse (Paperback)

I purchased this for my adopted Russian granddaughter so that she may have some history of the writings of her homeland. She loves poetry so feel the book with its Russian expressions will give her joy.
