Sergei Esenin is the great Russian lyricist. Much of his works is poetry and lyrics about everyday life and household of peasants. He was born in September 21, 1895 in the Ryazan province, the Konstantinovka village. That is why his works mostly devoted to love to his country and its people. Sergei’s parents were quite poor, so the young man was not flush with money and pampered.
From the earliest days of the writing Esenin includes in works such themes as homeland and revolution. For the first time his verses ("Birch", "Blacksmith", etc.) were reported in press in January 1914. Since December, 1914 the poet surrendered himself to completely to art, lost a job and write all day. The art world becomes more complicated, multidimensional, and biblical imagery and Christian motifs plays a large part. The most famous works are: "The black man", "Anna Snegina","Pugachev", "Goodbye my friend, goodbye...", "Hooligan's confession", "Letter to women"
This is one of the nerve-centres of London. It was named Trafalgar Square to commemorate the historical naval victory won on the 21st of October 1805 by the British fleet under the command of Horatio Nelson over the combined French-Spanish fleet commanded by Villeneuve. The battle took place at Cape Trafalgar in the mouth of the Straits of Gibraltar and lasted several hours. Nelson was fatally wounded by a shot which broke his backbone. He died on board his flagship the Victory, but not before being told that he had won the battle.
Nelson's Column, with the statue of Admiral Lord Nelson on top, rises in the centre of Trafalgar Square. This most impressive monument is 170 feet (about 52 m) tall. The statue of Nelson, placed facing towards the sea he loved, measures 17 feet (more than 5 m) in height.
Это один из центров Лондона. Площадь была названа Трафальгарской в ознаменование исторической морской победы английского флота под командованием Горацио Нельсона над смешанном франко-испанским флотом под командованием Вильнева 21 октября 1805. Битва произошла у мыса Трафальгар в устье пролива Гибралтар и продолжалась несколько часов. Нельсон был смертельно ранен выстрелом, который раздробил его позвоночник. Он умер на борту своего флагмана "Виктория", но не раньше, чем ему сказали, что он выиграл бой.
Колонна Нельсона, со статуей Адмирала лорда Нельсона на вершине, возвышается в центре Трафальгарской площади. Это самый впечатляющий памятник, он 170 футов (около 52 метра) высотой. Статуя Нельсона, стоит лицом к морю, которое он так любил, и её высота около 17 футов (более 5 м).
