Полное собраниеПесен Беранжев переводе русских поэтов (Original title: Полное собранiе Пѣсенъ Беранже въ переводѣ русскихъ поэтовъ) By Pierre-Jean de Béranger (Collected Poems by Beranger; In the translation of Russian poets) – In Russian language.
***
Collected poems in four volumes (two books), written by one of the most prolific French poets and chansonnier, Pierre-Jean de Béranger. He was born in 1780 and grew up in aristocratic milieu. However, the events that he experienced as a child (he personally saw the fall of Bastille) had great influence on the general direction of the poet’s work – his songs often contained criticism of the king, the aristocracy and Jesuits. Great translation by some of the most acknowledged Russian poets, beautiful illustrations and luxurious leather binding make this item a great addition to any bibliophile’s library.
