Marina Tsvetaeva, one of the greatest poets of the 20th century, was born in 1892 in Moscow. The fate of this unpredictable and impetuous woman, who married a volunteer of the White Army, is inextricably linked with the tumultuous history of Russia.
Uncompromising with the moral imperatives of her time, opposed to the revolution, she lives for a long time in exile. A contemporary of Pasternak, Mandelstam, Gorky, and Akhmatova, a admirer of Mayakovsky, this eternally in-love woman insists on extolling great ideas, the beauties of nature, and the mysterious teaching of death.
In 1941, after many adventures, she returns to Russia, where she tragically ends her life. Through the pages of this book, Henri Troyat essentially pays tribute to Marina Tsvetaeva, who in 1957, sixteen years after her death, was declared the national poetess of the Soviet Union.
