Marina Tsvetaeva’s House-Museum
On June 14 at 15:30, the Marina Tsvetaeva House-Museum invites you to the premiereauthor’s excursusElena Ilyina. The program is dedicated to the dialogue of outstanding poets of the Silver Age — Marina Tsvetaeva and Boris Pasternak.
The correspondence lasted almost 15 years: there were more than 200 letters. At the same time, there were few real meetings — only five before the correspondence began and a few more after. Marina Ivanovna herself called them “non-meetings.” The novel in letters — about time, poetry, creativity, and life philosophy — under the pen of Tsvetaeva and Pasternak turned into an artistic text that became part of high literature.
Guests learn how fate sometimes brought poets together and sometimes separated them, and how social changes in the first half of the 20th century influenced their personal and creative relationships.
