About this ebook
Alexander Blok: Selected Poems showcases the artistic nature of Blok through his poems.
The book first presents verses from the collection “Ante Lucem“ and poems of the 1905 revolution. Verses lifted from the two collections are presented. The poems cover various topics and were accomplished in different time frames. Although portions of the poems are only presented, they have managed to illustrate the creative mind of Blok. The text also highlights the works of Blok in English, French, German, Italian, and Russian. An index of first lines and titles are also presented.
The book is a fine reference for students of poetry and researchers interested in the works and contributions of Blok in poetry.
