Встречи с Есениным. Воспоминания

Ilya Schneider did not just meet with Sergei Yesenin and Isadora Duncan at different times and under different circumstances. He lived with them, was connected with Duncan by a common work. The multifaceted image of the poet is recreated in the memoirs. Schneider does not try to smooth out sharp corners, he gives a portrait without retouching, and in this portrait Yesenin is direct and kind, courageous and talented. Internally arguing with the author of the sensational memoirs about Yesenin, A. Mariengof, Schneider tells the truth about Isadora Duncan - an intelligent, charming woman and a real, great artist. The memoirs of I. Schneider not only help readers to understand these people more deeply, but also depict the life of Moscow in the 1920s.
