The Pushkin job: unmasking the thieves behind an international rare books heist
The long read: Between 2022 and 2023, as many as 170 rare and valuable editions of Russian classics were stolen from libraries across Europe. Were the thieves merely low-level opportunists, or were bigger forces at work?
poetikagaur“¿En dónde está nuestra rosa
Amigos míos?
Se marchitó la rosa
El bebé de la Aurora.
No digas:

Ni digas:
¡Ésta es la alegría de la vida!
Dile a la flor:
¡Perdona, lo lamento!
Y condúcenos
Hacia el lirio blanco”
