“I write not about myself and not for myself, but about those whom I was given to find out ... I write about them and for them. I try to talk about myself as few ... ” - Irina Odoevtseva wrote in the preface to her memoirs - the Russian poet, the beloved student of Nikolai Gumilyov, who left Russia in 1922. She lived a long life and returned to her homeland in 1987 - the last representative of the distant stroke century. She happened to see her books published in the USSR-the memoirs “On the Bees of the Neva” and “On the Bees of the Seine” were published in the late 1980s with colossal circulations. The heroes of these memoirs are Nikolai Gumilyov, Georgy Ivanov, Osip Mandelstam, Zinaida Gippius, Dmitry Merezhkovsky, Anna Akhmatova, Ivan Bunin and many others. And now, years later, this book is a monument to the era, its living testimony is read with great interest. Odoevtseva’s phenomenal memory allowed her to reproduce conversations, discussions, and disputes of that time after many decades. In the last years of life, I.V. Odoevtseva conceived the third book of memoirs - “On the shores of the flat”, which, however, remained unfinished: only a few chapters were published in the Paris newspaper “Russian Thought”. These chapters are included in the real edition
