add to cart   close window

Semeóon I´kovlèvich N´dson is not one of the greatest of Russia's poets, yet the history of the Russian struggle for freedom cannot be written without him, who was the true representative of the high-souled fraternity of Russia's youths sacrificing life and ambition, in the face of cruel oppression and death, for the sake of a free and happy people. Born in St. Petersburg in 1862, the grandson of a converted Jew, he inherited ill-health and melancholy. His father died in an insane asylum, and his mother, a delicate woman of the small nobility, was compelled to support herself and her little boy of two.
