Небесный огонь

"It is not given to us to predict how our word will respond..." These winged words of the wonderful Russian poet F. I. Tyutchev (i 803-1 873), which have long become an aphorism, can serve as a kind of key to understanding the deep psychological subtext novel "Heavenly Fire". It tells about the difficult fate and tragic, almost mystical fate that haunted the Tyutchev family. In the story of the tragically bright love of daughter Marie for her husband, the brilliant naval officer Nikolai Birilev, as if in a mirror, the suffering of the poet himself, his restless restless proud spirit, moments of spiritual uplift and love illumination characteristic of his brilliant poetry are reflected.
