Poetry in the Soil of Konstantinovo
Discover the birthplace of Sergei Yesenin, one of Russia’s most beloved poets, through this illuminating work by Tatyana Ivanovna Marshkova. Yesenin in Konstantinovo takes you to the village above the Oka River where the poet was born in October 1895—a place he immortalized in verse as “my land, pensive and tender.” Marshkova traces how the sights and scents of peasant life—the log hut, the smell of tar, the old icon case, the gentle lamp light—shaped his soul from childhood, helping him remain deeply Russian in both life and art. For 60 years, the Yesenin Museum-Reserve in Konstantinovo has drawn a steady stream of visitors, and this book captures why the folk trail to his home never fades. Here, you feel the truth of the old saying: to understand the poet, you must walk his native ground. Price: 1710.00 RUR.
