A treasure. A reprint of the old Penguin with literal translations of each poem at the bottom of the page. Much larger and easier to read. A very comprehensive selection of Russian poets, including Mayakovsky, Akhmatova, Tvetaeva, Gumilev, Khodasevich, Esenin, Mandelstam, Tchutchev, Fet, Lermontov, Pushkin, etc.
Nine sections covering various periods n time, each written by a different author. A survey of the many artifacts, Monuments in Russia. The end papers have maps showing the location of each of the artifacts discussed.
Without Byzanntine Empire there would be no Russia, no Bulgaria.
One can understand how these nations arises from this empire, which lasted 900 years.
