About This Novel
Although the talented writer Lermontov, Russia's "national poet", only lived in the world for 27 years, he reached the highest peak of Russian romantic poetry with 449 lyric poems and 27 long poems. This book contains a total of more than 200 love poems, romantic poems and heroic poems by Lermontov; the translator is Mr. Gu Yunpu, a famous Russian literary translator. As Merezhkovsky said, "Pushkin is the sun of Russian poetry, and Lermontov is the moon of Russian poetry. ... The stillness after breaking away from the action is a kind of salvation for Pushkin, but for Lermontov it is the death of the poet and the rust of the blade. In Pushkin's writings, life longs to become poetry; in Lermontov's writings, poetry longs to become life." Lermontov is a born poet.
